KATE MACDOWELL

In the words of C S Lewis “We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words–to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it”.
In Kate’s own words. “Simpact on the environment. These pieces are in part responses to environmental stressors including climate change, toxic pollution, and gm crops. They also borrow from myth, art history, figures of speech and other cultural touchstones. In some pieces aspects of the human figure stand-in for ourselves and act out sometimes harrowing, sometimes humorous transformations which illustrate our current relationship with the natural world. In others, animals take on anthropomorphic qualities when they are given safety equipment to attempt to protect them from man-made environmental threats. In each case the union between man and nature is shown to be one of friction and discomfort with the disturbing implication that we too are vulnerable to being victimized by our destructive practices”.
Full Moon

The weekend saw the Full Moon in Leo with Venus and Mars astride. A Full Moon is light (the Sun) fully illuminating what is hidden or unconscious (the Moon) – so that should be viewed as something that the Universe decrees as having arrived at a time when it needs to be exposed and so brought closer to being resolved. It prompts us to take a good look at how courageous we are. Do we have what it takes to see things through? Are we brave enough to confront what is necessary to make the long-lasting changes? The Sun in Aquarius reminds us to be progressive and creative and learn to take a step back and view things from a more balanced perspective.

This image is one that seems to be evolving since its conception a few weeks ago, it started with thoughts of mother earth, her bounty, her glory, abundance and fullness as she gives birth to our flora and fauna. My sketch just flowed out across the page, trees blossomed and grew leaves, some had shed them and their roots grew deep in the earth………. The light of the moon illuminated the trees, and somehow the sun’s journey is traced in the underworld as the moon takes its nightly trip across the skies.
