BETWEEN
ARTS WHAKATANE AWARD 2017 at the Molly Morpeth Canaday Award 120 x 100cm Oil on canvas The image for Between emerged from Raewyn’s practice of undirected drawing. The relationship between the forms has been negotiated and re-emphasised in a considered process to bring the painting into a coherent whole. The painting’s meditative quality becomes a visual metaphor, inviting the viewer to engage and participate in its thought space. |

HESYCHIA
140 x 73cm Oil on canvas Hesychia evokes the prayer traditions in the Eastern Orthodox church, where the mind descends into stillness, suspended in the sounds of cathedral echoes. This tradition has an ancient history, ranging from Hesykhia the Greek goddess of stillness, to the desert fathers, the Byzantine, Greek and Russian Orthodox churches, and to the western contemplatives Meister Eckhart and Thomas Merton. |
