'Alchemy' Framed Original
Collage of Acrylic, Paper and Photographs
Art size: 92 × 65cm (excluding frame)
Created with a selection of ‘Infinite Beauty’ test strips (photographs of ordinary urban objects)
About the art: Scratched-up skip bins and ordinary objects become art; perceived realities shatter; and labels fall away, altering forever what was. Pieces that were believed to be rubbish, worthless and not enough, are alchemised: flaws are re-seen as unique treasures; vulnerabilities as strength; broken as perfectly imperfect; pain as something calling to be seen; as the light of authenticity, of love, of the essence that lives unwaveringly at the core of all life, shines through once again – in a way never before experienced, having traversed a darkness beyond vocabulary.
“To see, we must forget
the name of the thing
we are looking at.”
– Claude Monet
