The 'INKspirations'
2016 - 2017
In 2016 I became intrigued with Klecksography, the 19th century art of making images from inkblots. I experimented with the technique by dropping acrylic ink onto watercolour art-board. Although my inkblots were not mirror-images like the original Klecksographs, I watched with delight as faces and figures began to appear as the ink dried. Using pen and ink, I developed the images that emerged and eventually dubbed these whimsical creations, the 'INKspirations'.

what will your baggage contain when you reach your destination? Aug 2016
can you let it go?
the magic you have up your sleeve will only work if you believe.
There are many paths that lead to the heart Sometimes we don't even know where they start But wherever they wind there are things we do know Like the adage we've heard that you reap what you sow.
Turmeric Tom has a hole in his head It's because he listened to what 'they' said Now he hears from his heart and leads with his love So the hole in his head shines light from above

We're all in this together Just like birds of a feather No matter what the weather To each other we are tethered

I think I must have lived among them for a million moons. I lived again with them this time. Alas, I had to leave them much too soon.

Humpty Dumpty has returned I hope that this time he has learned There is no need to fight or fall If he joins Peace up on the wall
I do not know, do you? Why elephants remember what they do. Maybe they hold the records for us all. Even records of our grace before the fall.

The Inkblot Adventures of 2016

that you are not good enough
(of the box)
(The Secret of Love)
Take a good look around.
My Heart Song is My Gift to You (photographic filter applied)
Heals The World (photographic filter applied)
Shake off your apathy and let me escort you into the secret chamber of magic. August
Are Thoughts Real? Do they chase you round, and make you feel: angry, sad or downright bad? Pain is lack Go back To the gap To the space between your thoughts.
Who comes up with these things? The alphabet is only 26 letters. "Read between the lines", he said.
And there it was. Wherever you go, there you are.
Sing your own song, even if they don't understand you.
Who's talking to who? Am I listening to you? Are we all in big bubbles of our very own troubles?
from the confines of your mews.
from self-imposed limitations. prints and cards available
If the puppet in the mirror is you You prolly know what you should do Take off your boots Unhook your chain And look at things Like a child again
he can smell the truth a mile away.
