Title: "Emergent Form" (Blue Rebirth) ARTIST'S STATEMENT This surreal image is part of a series of a personal journey of rediscovery. There comes a time in life when to move forward and grow you need to face your own inner demons, past fears & insecurities, thus redefining your self image and worth. The image was created during that time in my life. This Particular image from the series looks like a rebirth where the physical form is forcing its way into a new existence. It represents a change in self perception and roles in life. This image is from a series which explores a particular dream, not as the child I was at the time but as the adult I now am. This image explores two related aspects of myself. Issues of shyness! One concerning verbal communication, and second shyness about exposing my physical body. As a child I wanted to blend into the walls of my surrounds, a difficult task for a "fatty". I have memories from as young as 5 years old of dreading growing breasts as it would draw attention to my physical shape. The figure in this image is large, naked and very bold. It is a confronting image that won’t be ignored, and by emphasising these physical aspects this image becomes a empowering statement for a shy, overweight and very self conscious child that is still hidden inside me. Most dreams offer insights from your subconscious but fade quickly from memory. As a middle aged adult with my own family I have vivid memories of a specific dream from childhood. The textural quality of the image surface is inspired from this. The original dream had me trapped in my parents bedroom filled with giant cardboard boxes, I was a small child and I was isolated and trapped. Frightened and alone I could not find my way out of the room nor through the towering walls of the boxes. So I screamed for help, literally. My dream-scream was so loud it woke me up, and parents, who came running into my bedroom to see what the problem was. My mother had emphasised on many occasions that people who said they had nightmares didn’t know what they were talking about, and that they had not!. Emotional from the dream and panicky for an answer to her questioning on why I screamed I lied that I simply wanted a biscuit. I remember being made to sit in the kitchen in the middle of the night to eat it. I was not very old at the time and as an adult looking back on the incident, it is sad to realise that through a lack of communication and fear, I could not admit such things as dreams and nightmares even existed. Growing up as a very shy child who should be seen and not heard, I never mentioned my hopes, dreams, fears, insecurities or hardly even an original opinion and as an adult I still find verbal communication uncomfortable. This image is from a series that is now very symbolic of my adult boxes inherited from childhood. Whether these are self imposed restrictions or my fundamental personality type the series explores the inner depths of who I am. Trapped inside yourself. Opinion silenced in fear, As distorting words swirl. A life of silent mistrust. Screams safely echo Through silence of empty crates. The rule is silence Continuing never broken Neveeerrrr… till now! Pain floods forth to cleanse a soul. The hollow shell crumbles and falls, reborn with strength of love and acceptance.
