gold dust
A limited edition of 50 fine art giclée prints hand finished with 24k gold leaf
This painting depicts two birds flying inwards towards the centre of a circle. As the birds journey inwards, they move past smaller gold circles and crushed rubies which are spiralling outwards from the centre.
a centrifugal force
pulls the birds to the heart of the spiral, to the point of creation and ultimately to their Creator. In order to arrive, they must strive to stay on their path and remain focused.
The spiralling
gold and ruby ‘star dust’ represent the glistening, enticing, distractions of this world. These gleaming diversions are the things we think we want to spend time with, but in reality the time would be better spent elsewhere. This shimmering veil that continuously regenerates and re-fashions itself each time we pull it down, seeks to subvert us from our path.
the birds
are on a spiritual journey and they endeavour to push past the obstacles and remain centred on their destination. In search of pure contentment and free from all material and worldly desires, the birds are determined to reach their journey’s end.
As humans we are easily swept away into waves of gilded and gem like distractions life has to offer. There will always be plenty of things ready to obscure the path that leads to what makes us feel most accomplished and content. Keeping the path clear, decluttering our hearts and minds and bringing our goals back into focus is how we will move closer to where we want to be.
