Lifelines
Lifelines
This series of paintings, “Lifelines,” is about the invisible lines of love and connection that link people, in the moment and also across and around our planet, with the sea as the common link. It’s also about connection to place, and understanding that people who have immigrated, which is many of us in New Zealand, have an ongoing connection to more than one place. I don’t think we need to divide our awareness, we can just be bigger and embrace it. Many of the pictures are based in or around water as water seems to be a very special conductor for presence and connection.
