fresh wings within, 2024
synthetic polymer paint on canvas
46 x 61 x 3.5 cm

this work encompasses the internal birthing of fresh, fearless and forever thoughts, their ability to lift us to soar and the power of enrichment through three separate pods of knowledge. the blue which depicts bones which pays sincere homage and deepest respect to those who have come before us and carry us onwards with ages of unfathomable spirit and strength. the yellow which holds stones that embed us with our connection to endless love and longing for Country. keeping us secure in our sense of self and others while relating all importance to our immense natural space and place. the green pod shows ‘leni language’, a depiction of my personal and unique cipher for past, present and all to become.  making nonsense characters that hold sensible and spiritual speak from my soul.  there are golden pods reflecting the priceless and powerful seeds that spread across this continent to bring to light regeneration and rejuvenation. there are shoots and stalks coming up from below that show ongoing and endless growth that this Country gifts us. in us all there are fresh wings within.
