Manifesto

I AM A COLLECTOR AND LOVER OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS, DISCARDED ITEMS ARE TREASURES TO ME, ONCE LOST BUT NOW FOUND. I MIX ANCIENT WITH MODERN, MY ECLECTIC THREAD. I SEE IN COLOUR PALETTES AND PATTERNS. A SURFACE DESIGNER & LANDSCAPE DESIGNER, I MIX THE TWO. INSPIRED BY CREATION, ANCIENT & MODERN ARCHITECTURE, SCULPTURE, INTERESTING FASHION DESIGNERS PAST & PRESENT, ARTS & CRAFT, STITCH, PAPER & CLOTH, CROSS POLLINATE THEM ALL. I PHOTOGRAPH WHAT CAPTURES ME. DEEPLY COMPASSIONATE & SENSITIVE TO MY SURROUNDINGS, KAIROS MOMENTS, I HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF SMELL, SOME SAY A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY, THE TOUCH OF NATURAL MATERIALS & FIBRES, EXTERNAL SPACES, THE SCENT AND TASTE OF JUICY MANDARINES FROM MY GARDEN. LISTENING TO THE RAIN DANCE ON MY TIN ROOF & AWAKENING TO THE SWEET SONG OF NATIVE BIRDS, EVOKE MY SENSES. CONNECTING WITH YOUNG AND OLD, LISTENING TO THEIR STORIES, CRY, HEAL & LAUGH WITH THEM, LIFE LONG FRIENDSHIPS, DRAW THEIR FACES, THEIR STORIES, MY STORY. HOPELESS ROMANTIC, HOLD HIS GAZE, BUTTERFLIES TWITTER, SPONTANEOUS DATES, MY CHILDREN’S SMILES, LAUGHS & KISSES, ZOE MY FURY FRIEND & CONFIDANT, I FERVENTLY LOVE, NOT AFRAID TO SHED TEARS. WALKING IN THE RAIN & GETTING WET, LAYING DOWN IN THE SUN & STARING INTO THE SKY, SUBLIMINAL DREAMS, SKELETAL LEAVES, SEED PODS, PICK & IDENTIFY BOTANICA, PRESS & PRESERVE. NATURAL PAINTS & DYES, POETIC WORDS, SCRIPTURE FROM MY SAVIOUR. GETTING LOST IN ART GALLERIES & MUSEUMS, TRAVELLING TO UNKNOWN PLACES, DESTINATIONS FOR INSPIRATIONS. BIG GREEN EYES, CONVERSE RUNNERS, KIMMINO STYLE JACKETS, COLOURFUL SCARVES, SILVER JEWELLERY, BIG RINGS & BANGLES. INDIGO, GREEN & RED ORANGE, THE SOUND OF INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC, THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS.
