Chants -
Explanation


I lived in Jerusalem for six months where I was commonly asked what religion I was. I didn’t know. This work developed from my conscious effort to work out what my feelings and point of view on spirituality are.


The final forms stand gently but strongly; in the world… on the earth… and reach into the air. They speak of weather, life and sanctuary. Torn edges, joins and dark openings hint at organic endurance, experience and an inside I’m not showing. Their taller than human size was necessary to invoke appropriate senses.

For me they are also calm, meditative, organic and celebrate the great mystery (sometimes called God), in a myriad of ways. I went to extreme lengths, working like a method actor, to ‘make in’ the ‘right vibes’ on the topic and to give the work the best chance of absorbing my discoveries and conclusions - which settled on reverence, and the mechanics and spirit of nature; both Mother Nature and Human Nature.

A little about religion, contemplation, ritual and a lot about private appreciation, awe, the feelings of connectedness or perhaps even altered consciousness that we sometimes experience in a landscape, evolution, being part of a process, feeling safe… and something I can’t seem to put into words only body gestures.

I call them Chants because they are impossible to label but they reference universal feelings of personal mysticism in a way that recognises that people sing to their own tune religiously and/or spiritually.
