Novalis, meaning ‘newly ploughed fields’ or more specifically ‘one who has opened up new land’. Full of pure religious feeling and philosophical depth embodied in Donna’s existence and communicated through her paintings and reviews.
To cultivate the earth, to baptise and humanise it by ‘Love’. To enable the earth and her people, to be raise to the highest power, allowing the productive and creative ideas to grow.
I am an example of human possibilities: sometimes this ‘possibility’ appears different from our present state, so pure and angelical in thought, so transparent and lacking in personality in the lower sense, we can hardly believe that this is human.
I also juxtapose this with the inadequate, dire, incumbent, reality I face as I am human, flawed and destructive. I am therefore truly human and this makes me elusively terrifying. ‘I’, as Rilke speaks of in his poetry: ‘We, who are hardly human, not fully real, as we identify to God, and Godness (goodness) aspects through social development, yet heathen in our disgust of our own idolatry’, I respond by reaching in turn to a more honest response to humanity through the Primordial mind, back to the essence of the limbic brain, of man before evolution. Back to truth of love in existence and the need for nothing more.
All of my work is researched and theme based. I generally create a series of work on each theme. I will be writing essay's on each series so you, the viewer can be more involved, more intimate in your response. Please contact me, your opinion is as important as my own.
'On Reflection', asks 'Who are You'. The Current Series of Work questions 'How we feel and fit in society and the family'. On Reflection is a series of four compositions which consider if we feel isolated, or other. This is followed by 8 compositions in which the viewer is asked to consider and reflect on their own personality within the family and to create their own image via any media or mark and submit it to my online blogg at www.A-N.co.uk . ' I am 2 to the power of 64'. Quote: R.D Laing, The Facts of LIfe.
