This palette knife oil painting on stretched canvas is part of the exhibition Magic / Transformation / Interpretation, which was held in Redon in March 2023. I wanted to explore magical mindscapes in conjunction with mental health issues and how it is perceived by western medicine and shamanic medicine throughout the world in all ages. Ergotism. Ergot is a fungus blight that infects wheat and other grain crops. It causes an impaired circulation of blood, causing both a burning and freezing sensation, leading to gangrene. If ergot was cooked in rye bread it formed a hallucinogenic which caused hallucinations, with nervous convulsions, cardiovascular problems, stillbirths and eventually, death. This painting was inspired by the burning times. Many peasants in the middle ages ate blight infected wheat and suffered these symptoms. The hallucinations of many of them became public and as a resut, some of these people were put to death by fire, hanging, drowning after being dunked and crushed by a heavy barn door with stones laid atop them.

France
Originating from Dorset, South England, UK, I have settled in the department of Morbihan, Bretagne, France, where both birth and chosen environments are sources of inspiration. My degree in biology, specialising in entomology, ecology and animal behaviour, lends assistance in understanding our place in the natural world, and I sprinkle my work with these elements. My vast and encompassing interests and subjects include transformation on all levels, mental health issues, environmental destruction, inner divinity, the natural and philosophical sacred space, and the interplay of nurture and nature on the human psyche. I have a special interest in the divine feminine but believe all life and all environments are sacred, such as the sea where I attempt to capture movement and translucency of eternal, oceanic change. Perpetually exploring new realms of creativity, I feel caged and become restless if persisting with any one type of genre. The act of creation is a mysterious process, I follow the energy and truly believe that the colours, textures and outer forms I’ve created have profound inner emotions behind them. Painting my inner landscape into being, I resonate with the world and celebrate all life. The inspiration that stimulates my creativity is conceptualized and birthed from my inner emotions, which colourfully give form and texture to my beliefs and ideas.
