Synchronicity

is the title of a new series I am working on. All 8×8″ on boxed canvas, in acrylics, specifically for the NZ Art Guild BMC exhibition in August.

This series is an abstract exploration of all the parts which make up my life – librarian, wife, daughter and caregiver, newspaper editor and publisher. Despite the seemingly random mix of roles and tasks it all fits together – just. And sometimes synchronicity plays a part in my managing to keep the fabric of my life sufficiently glued…hence the title of the series.

These are very different for me – lots of texture and layering. Feeling quite pleased so far.
