"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves."
Mary Oliver
segment of 'Wild Geese' from 'Devotions'
Discovering two new mediums - screen printing and gouache - brought a playful newness and a sense of wonder to my practice. With these works I tried to let go of old patterns and pressure that did not serve anymore. I tried to listen better, move more freely and with lightness. And through repetition, shape, colour, texture and layers I searched for the familiar within the new.
