Trickster Child Silver Dagger w80 x h80 x d1 cm, oil on board |
I’m sleepwalking through familiar woods and encounter a wild, uncanny child. A trickster child who can turn people into trees. Her transformations are not violent but strangely magical. She reshapes people into beings that reflect the expressive patterns of the forest.
She carries a silver dagger: a luminous, intuitive tool that can cut through realities. It is dangerous only because it is powerful — a symbol of discernment, precision, and the ability to carve a pathway to a future of my own imagining.
Sister work: The Attunement Substrate.
Trickster Child Silver Dagger arose from a vivid dream that arrived in the wake of The Attunement Substrate. Some experiences linger with unusual clarity. This painting is a souvenir from that encounter.
I present these artefacts here for you to meet on your own terms. You're free to engage imaginatively, somatically, or however you wish. Once fully realised, the artworks set sail. From that point onwards, they have lives of their own.
