Her Soul sparkled with light and was too…
I had an amazing day skinny dipping in the ocean at a local beach and felt the freedom to experience myself playfully in the surging waves.
I realised some qualities I love about myself and how I have embraced living... and also reflected on fear and how that has limited me. Come on everyone... life is far too short to be fearful. Come with me diving deep into life!

In my latest blog post I recognise to be honest and true to myself I need to accept who I am in

Shamanism….Animism… Celestial bodies … Alignment…. and more
In this series of fascinating articles, I will be investigating Shamanism, Animism and what the connection with the earth and celestial bodies has to do with healing, ritual and society; culturally over the millennia and into the present day; and my own personal experience of this through my travels and my own experience as a Shaman.

The cumulation of images…greater than the sum of the individual items – A body of work.
As a visual artist and philosopher ... my 'bodies of work' are conceptually based; meaning they have a voice. I have a voice through my work. I have a voice which is expressed through not only each single image and artwork; but amplified through the collection as a whole.
Over the past few weeks I have shared some images which are of a 'narrative' nature. Some go a little further and express an emotion I was feeling .... or were catalysts for my introspection. For me - a body of work is different.
A body of work is a collection of images which has a voice...which expresses a vision; a philosophy; poses questions; reflects a unified thought or concept.... and is where the collection of images and artworks is far greater than the sum of the individual items......MORE....

My weaving is deeply rooted in my experience. My remote journeys and experiences continue to move through me as I weave.
Although weaving involves repetitive tasks, my movements are intentional and connected to my spirit, memory and experiences. Weaving for me is far more than a physical task. It is art; my voice through my hands.
Thank you for joining in with me to guess where my memories are from for my current Series. Here are some more clues in the photographs.
DM your guess where you think this place is. Looking forward to reading where you think!

The lines hold meaning.
Privileged to be able to weave alongside the lines drawn in Abbie Loy’s Body Painting 2012, and @sallyblakeartist Sacred Thought.
@qingfibre Lemon is the most wonderful yellow, forming the story lines in my warp.

Slow weaving. Simple stitches.
Heirloom handwoven blanket from a meaningful memory. Have you been to a beach with these gorgeous coloured changing rooms? Where?
My blankets are soulful gifts which say to someone that you care about them.

Roadtrippin’ vintage car style. Our journeys aren’t your usual road trip, but tbh is the BEST way to experience the world. It’s tough. It’s exhausting. It’s incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.
We would not have had the incredibly rich experiences with others throughout the world, had we been in a ‘normal’ vehicle or tour group.
I would not have held the hands of women and hugged with acknowledgement of each other had we not been in our 100 year old ‘Penny’.
Love to know the ways you’ve travelled where you’ve connected spontaneously with local people.

Every journey becomes part of who I am. Remote travel is my passion!
I love the snow and have learned so much from my experiences in those cold environments.
I spent some time lying in the snow beside the forest waiting to be found when I injured and tore all my ligaments in my knee.
In the silence between the snowflakes I learned how to breathe with the pain.
I miss the snow and cold of the Arctic. I miss the icebergs and frozen seas.
I can still however weave my stories, and this one is from my memories of skiing and what I learned in the snow amongst the pines.
