Hush!
Every thought is public,
Every nook is wide;
Thy gossips spread each whisper,
And the gods from side to side.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Synonyms: tranquility, stillness, peace
Charcoal on paper, signed, artwork size 47cm x 38cm, framed size 61cm x 51cm x 4cm 'Sunken Garden' is an original artwork of charcoal on paper, as a final piece from my first artist residency at Bannantynes Hotel and Spa in Hastings, with Pure Arts Group.
Throughout my residency I was taken by all of he shapes and forms of the garden and trees surrounding the sunken garden. This piece came together after ten sketches of the garden from dierent perspectives.
I realised when drawing from a different angle it resembled a smiling face, which is how i felt as this was my first artist in residence experience, including my first solo exhibition. The work has been oat mounted within a contemporary black frame and anti reflective glass.

On a recent Pilgrimage to Iona in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland I discovered many stone carvings, some incredibly old, pointing the soul to higher places, some illustrating stories, some with secretive messages, some lifting the senses to appreciate creation and nature all around us. Beautiful sandstone carvings by Chris Hall bring life to the cloisters in Iona Abbey. Each of the capitals contain birds, flowers, trees or animals of the British Isles and the West Highlands, and the four corner capitals contain faces, illustrating the parables of Christ. Particular faces, and probably fashioned from real life studies. Stone carvings are an interpretation through the medium of rock, of movement and flesh; my drawings are images of the feelings I see in those carvings. Consider how much of a face we need to see to recognise someone. Or the particular detail, to understand the expression of that person. Whether it be joy, contentment, adoration, peace, wisdom, revelation, sadness, or concern.

The drawings are my response to the sandstone carvings in the Cloisters in Iona Abbey by Chris Hall. The beautiful carvings illustrate parables of Christ completed in the 1990s.
These drawings are my reaction to human emotions I felt while spendingtime in their presence.

The Psalms and Proverbs are poetic, visual and prophetic, full of wisdom, inspiration and love. I know this is an incredibly general statement; however in this drawing I have searched and worked really hard to produce a Meditative Work. An image endeavouring to illustrate compassion, kindness, humility, self control, gentleness, patience, forgiveness and love. Proverbs 3:3 (The Message translation)
