    We have just enjoyed a long Easter weekend – great time for chocolate eggs and cuddly bunnies, but actually, it’s a reminder of the testimony to the victory of good over evil. Passover, the week before, tells the story of the passage of a people from slavery to freedom. 

    Yom Ha’Shoah or Remembrance Day beginning tomorrow, memorialises the death of 6 million Jews at the hands of the Nazis during World War II…..a lesson never to be forgotten.

    In 1993 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring 22nd March as World Day for Water. Every year, we are reminded that water and sanitation are essential to social and environmental sustainability. Universally, Covid has forced us to reconsider hand hygiene, making us value water (this year’s theme) with new appreciation

    Introducing land/seascapes to my practice, the title of this horizontal work suggests that the fundamental power of water/sea is a common imperative to our universal survival. It is not surprising that the first consideration space scientists search for as evidence of life, is the existence of water.

    This work firmly attaches itself to the biblical narrative. Water is not only central to our physical needs, but it also nourishes our spiritual selves. I find it fascinating that metaphors for life itself, fertility, rebirth, purification or transcendence are shared by so many world religions.

    The theme this year is ‘Forest restoration: a path to recovery and well-being’. It also fits into the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030) which calls for the protection and revival of ecosystems around the world.

    Notwithstanding considerations of enormous commercial and subsequent monetisation (comparable to Christmas or Halloween), Mother’s Day is a moment to pause.   Parenting for me is the biggest challenge we share. Besides challenging physical requirements, the responsibility of establishing a moral compass and steering a child through rocky tumultuous terrains is a mammoth task - relentless and never ending.

    Never having smoked, I am fascinated by the ritual of smokers.....the sustained moment of pleasure for those who inhale seems to ritualise and mesmerise seductively.

    In celebration of International Women's Day on Monday 8th, I plan to go live on Instagram. There are so many considerations, and so many pertinent paintings that I could speak about, I’m not sure where to start.

     With the advantage of digital space and as I don’t have this work in the studio, I thought it practical to speak about some issues here which address certain gender related preoccupations which are being re-evaluated and redefined passionately as never before.

    On Reflection.

    Abstract coloured spheres and circles in 'New Beginnings', created a visual space calling for a human presence in visual terms. Just as we have missed friends and family over the last year, the abstract image called to me for human intervention. By natural progression, three figures were superimposed.

    New Beginnings.

    We’ve all been challenged in ways never before imagined over the last year. The pandemic forced us to re-evaluate, re consider and reinvent ourselves to survive both personally and collectively.
