The colour RED – R.I.P
February 15, 2010
Have been thinking and working with red on a current interior project, its such a beautiful creative colour, its vibrancy so energising, so uplifting and enriching.
Red is blood, its velvety rich smoothness……….. Its there when we are born, it symbolises passion, sex, sin, pain, anger and guilt, red with the blood of murder, the bible says in Isiah “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow”. We can get caught “red handed”, or visit the “red light” district. We see red when angry, Apparently research has born out that men find women more attractive if they are wearing red. Its the colour of Mars, a valentines heart, a robin red breast, a red rose, its red ripe fruit oozing syrupy juices signalling its readiness to be devoured. We can be “red blooded” virile, powerful, unstoppable. Its the colour of royality, velvet and ermine cloaks, red cushioned throne. Red was used by Alexander McQueen is his fall 2009 collection show in Paris to much aclaim, may you rest R.I.P

KATE MACDOWELL
February 2, 2010
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
February 2, 2010
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.
Creative sunshine
January 25, 2010
Colourful, vibrant, happy and abundant, this light fitting says it all to me. Walking into Anthropology in Regent street, I could see this enormous chandelier suspended in space up on the first floor. On climbing the stairs and getting nearer to it I could feel myself smiling inside.
What was it ? Its vibrancy reached right through me, it ignited a huge smile, fun, laughter, school children playing, sunshine, music, a carefree spirit, a lightness of being, it really touched me.
Then I looked around at everyone else, were they smiling, were they filled with sunshine……………….. no, they certainly didnt look like they were . Why?
Were they so busy and engrossed in their worlds of worry and angst, it certainly looked like it, heads down, deep in thought, laden with bags, looking burdened, hunched forward, and they were all so young.
As I get older am I staying more present, not worrying about the past or future, just enjoying each day as it comes?
Or am I just one of those people who finds wonder from there surroundings. I think I am the latter, life fills me with magical thoughts, my surroundings I f ind inspiring causing my brain to ignite into creative action.
From this chandelier I have created so much in my mind, and this evening so many ideas in my virtual sketch book…………………..
