of becoming

A CELEBRATION OF LIMINALITY. LIMINAL SPACE: A FICTIONAL UTOPIA, A PLACE OF PROMISE. THERE IS A HOLINESS TO THEM - AN EMPTINESS THAT DENOTES TRANQUILITY. A MONOGRAPH: THE THIN FABRIC OF SOLITUDE THAT IS COMPLEX AND MULTILAYERED. THE DEEPER I GO IN, THE MORE ABSTRACT MY PHOTOGRAPHS ARE AND THE LESS ATTACHED THEY ARE TO TIME AND SPACE. THEY ARE SIMPLY WHAT I SEE IN THAT MOMENT AND CONNOTE WHAT I MIGHT SEE DARE I LOOK ANY FURTHER. THEY ARE VACANT SCENES, AND YET THEY ARE FILLED AS IF OCCUPIED, OFFERING THAT MAYBE THE UNCANNY HAS SOMETHING MORE TO OFFER, A CLARITY PERHAPS. THESE IMAGES OF THE BETWIXT AND BETWEEN CONVEY THE TRACES OF THE ONES WHO HAVE COME AND GONE, AND THOSE WHO ARE YET TO ARRIVE. UNTIL THEN, SHADOWS, LIGHT AND COLOUR TAKE OVER..

Deep beneath 

The chaos and chit-chatter of the world,

Swathed in a rich, lingering silence,

Entrenched power

Winds its way through the spaces between.

I feel at home in this liminal,

In the space in between,

In the past, present and future.

Living simultaneously in two worlds,

Each half peaked

And half blossoming. 

I am either and neither

But mostly both. 

It is in the systole

And diastole

Where I most often live.

Neither here nor there

But always on the way.

There are beginnings and endings,

One emerging out of the other.

Most days I find myself traveling in the ever present

Leaving behind yesterday with ease

And welcoming tomorrow with open arms.

Learning to live with the outcome,

More patient with the process, 

And less attached to the certain. 

To love what is becoming,

And the questions that keep coming...

Coming back to me.
