Each painting in the Lift and Fall series was completed in one day. Each one is a memento of a period of meditation; of mark marking, of rubbing out and starting again.
The rhythms of the sea matching the rhythms of the breath.
“The breeze lifts and falls in a sigh, nudging the plum blossoms that lie in drifts like pink dunes against the garden stones. The brevity of blossoms, the timelessness of stones - perhaps we enjoy nature’s rhythms in our gardens because they remind us of the rhythms of our own lives.” - Marc Peter Keane, The Art of Setting Stones
