Seasonal moments I’ve noticed here in Melbourne:

Thinking about ageing, finding meaning in life, the seasons/hormonal stages we move through as women… we experience and practice these seasons daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. So why does it feel harder to accept across the span of our lives?

Using art as a way of being with what is. Letting feelings and thoughts swirl and tangle and be messy as I create. Gleaning ideas, knowledge, facts. Mixing them so new ones can bubble up:

Life drawing class at Galleria Crocodillo - a way of freeing up my eyes and hands, shifting the way I perceive shape, movement, weight, shadow and light. Working quickly allows me to shed detail and perfection:
