Mother Artwork

This artwork is an inkjet print of a photograph, hand painted with acrylic paint, a painting/photograph of my mother. It is based upon an out of body experience I had in my youth. It was a warm April, heat rose from the Tarmac and warmed my shins above my boot laces. I don’t remember what I had for dinner that day, mostly I ate brown rice with gravy. A list of smells remind me of this event and of details I may have otherwise forgotten: A newly lit cigarette Weed Bleach Furniture polish Shake n’ Vac Pears soap Badedas Bath Foam Geranium leaves Tomato plants Access. Meditation was new to me, I had been practicing for around 6 months when a normal session changed me. On about the third track of an Enigma album I felt a loosening, a kind of thinning of the atmosphere before noticing I had left my body. Floating upwards through the metal ceiling, into the loft space, through the roof, up, up, up. I decide to see Daisy, a revenant of me moves through the sky toward Warley Gap looking for her, when I arrive she is sleeping in the dorm beyond the dayroom where we visit, looking at her from above she is peaceful and tiny. The ward is quiet and I am relieved that my dark ideas of the asylum at night are incorrect. Pulsing photons, electromagnetic existences and molecular forms mimic my shape, nothing ties me to my corporeal twin,I feel her but even the idea of ‘Her’ is unreal. The pure energy is sustaining me, it is time now to visit somewhere else so unconstrained passing through and into another layer of matter and this is where explanations become poor.
