The Truth Of You

It takes courage to speak our truth. The inner voice has grown quiet — a low hum. The voice of reason that once assured you all is well now lacks conviction, and with each passing moment, the world grows colder.

But this is not the truth of you.

Portrait of Sarah Angliss

Sarah wanted to explore the visual aspect of her identity as a performer. However, she rarely has the time to prepare visually before a performance, as she must dedicate most of her time to setting up her equipment and ensuring her machines are performance-ready.

This one Sarah took of me (below).

After the sea gulls attacked we decided to continue our voyage of discovery inside.

Lamb Face

Lamb Face was originally a character from one of my paintings, titled 111. She is part of an ensemble representing my imaginary childhood friends. For my first solo exhibition, I wanted to bring the beings in my paintings to life, and photography became the portal I had been seeking.

The individuals who portray my beings in the photographs are carefully chosen for their innate qualities that align with the concept. They are also willing to fully surrender themselves to the creative unfolding.

Lamb Face is portrayed here by Tammy Nicholls.

(See May 2010 entry here, Home Ground, for this painting.)
