This triptych was inspired by a mood - a feeling of meditative calm that comes from complete immersion in nature. It shows glimpses of azure ocean through wild grasses along untame d coastline in a beautiful region of Australia known as the Northern Rivers. The title, 'Resting in Beauty' was the name given to a meditation on nature by a local yogi in summer 2024.Creating this work was a form of meditation in itself. It involves a long and repetitive process of burning layer upon layer of beeswax, resin and raw pigments into a wooden substrate, with each layer scraped back and then polished to create a dreamy, ethereal surface. The ancient technique involves the use a live flame to bond each layer to the one below, requiring total focus and immersion in the moment. Show more
