Art Journalling

Since early this year I have been exploring Art Journalling; learning and experimenting with techniques and allowing pages to evolve from various backgrounds and experimentation with image transfers and die-cut embellishments.

Each page is continuously under creation and re-creation and reflecting back through the pages, I have slowly come to realize that what is emerging as a theme is "revealing and revelation".

Theology Art Project - December 2009

Here are a few more photographs with an attempt to improve the picture quality.

The project explored using the mystical tradition of the Kabbalah as a lens through which to illuminate two the passages in the Bible which reference sexuality: 1. Genesis 3 and 2. The Song of Songs.

The Kabbalah is the mystical tradition of the Jewish faith; the western Kabbalah, however, was revived by Christian artists and writers who were searching for the source of their creativity. Its centre piece is the Tree of Life with ten Sephiroth representing ten divine pulses and the pattern of creation.
