Mystery is the first piece created in this collection, stemming from dreams and meditations on the roadways between, where fantasy and reality rub shoulders…
In the history of magic and art, between myth and reality there have always been tales of the antlered green lady, Elen of the Ways is just one name for her… where is she now as our planet lurches towards chaos… that is her mystery…
As humans we are always searching for answers to the deepest questions and yet they truly reside within us… this is our mystery…
Moonlit mystery… who can tell what the moon will govern as the seasons, cycles and even the whole year changes… this is Her mystery…
Spring arrives bringing golden light… one moment dark and misty and then blossoms burst open… a mystery in itself…
Bathed in golden light, the mystery continues underground and then violets blossom as the geese return home… how do they know when to fly so far… this is their mystery…
Summertime in the rainforests… are they moths, butterflies or other worldly creatures, mimicking the sweet nectar-filled centre of flowers as they fly… this is their mystery…
The mountains are misty and thunder rumbles in late summer… lightening crackles and the air is full of static, the scent of ozone and the ravens call. What do they tell each other… this is their mystery…
Even in cooler weather, dragonfly will surprise you with an off-season appearance, sending messages from the in-between to your soul… this is dragonfly’s mystery…
Late summer brings the rain… wild grasses mature and the seeds fall for next year’s harvest… sometimes lying dormant for many months until the right conditions prevail… this is their mystery…
Berries replace leaves and tiny spiders launch themselves into the unknown, flying blindly from grass stem to stem, creating a glistening, dew-covered cloak across the ground… how do they know the moment as the first frost arrives… this is their mystery…
Mists hangs over the valleys and rivers and the last autumn harvest is gathered… the land prepares itself for hibernation… this is its mystery…
On a mild late autumn day just before winter sets in, marshes steam and dragonfly can still be seen laying their eggs for the spring awakening next year… how do they survive the cold to come… this is their mystery
The world retreats into winter… the veil thins as Samhain approaches, welcoming the ancestors home… this is the mystery of life…
Where do the spirits of trees and plants go as they withdraw their sap into the roots and soil… where do they hide in winter… this is their mystery…
A curious relationship… what holds them attached to each other… this is their mystery…
Raven sings in glyphs, dropping sigels and signs every time they open their beak… translation of the ancient codex of eons is their mystery…
