A reflection by my friend, Kay Gibbons.

Once a month I take myself out of the fast flowing stream of life and go to a quiet space . Like being a still eddy near to the waters edge . In this place I seek and rest in ‘the still point at the centre’….

Of late I have done little spontaneous painting and drawing – making marks on paper , letting the brush go free fall and the pen trail behind on a journey of exploration … scroll through and you will see the development from blank page , paint , pen and ink …..

Initially I imagined the painting was a selection of leaves , a joyous expression ‘of being’ and as my pen drew a line here, another there the shapes of the leaves turned into fish , akin to a much earlier style of work by @kaygibbons_art.glass.sculpture

This maybe a work in progress on many levels- I can envisage loose brush strokes of paint on glass with the fish swimming vertically within a larger panel of clear textured and coloured glass; I can also see more fish with the drawing becoming a playful gathering joining me in the still waters of the eddy at the edge of the stream ….

Swimming in Silence in my Quiet eddy at the edge , bringing it into the centre…..

and on into another day …….
