Painted mostly in my pyjamas during wild nights of rain, hail, and wind in a liminal state — this work poured through me with primal urgency. The phrase across the canvas, “A MOMENT of BLISS. Use it as a Seed, and Water its MEMORY,” became a mantra for healing, anchoring fleeting beauty as something sacred and regenerative.
This painting is both desert and womb — a visual merging of the Australian outback’s raw terrain with the feminine body’s generative power. The rich, undulating forms speak of the ancient land as mother, her ochre curves echoing the womb’s sacred architecture. These forms hold the story of inception, of life rising from the red dust, from blood, from earth, and from longing.
From time immemorial, there has been the desire for gold and the want for life and love. I have combined both these themes in their raw, natural, uncensored state. The embedded 24ct gold leaf is not decorative — it represents the eternal, elemental longing for the luminous: the divine thread of vitality that runs through us all. In this context, gold becomes alchemical — a symbol of conception, celebration, and inner fire.
This painting honours desire, conception, celebration, and reward — the full arc of what it means to create. The red hearts float like seeds, like blood cells, like prayers. The central divide glows like a molten birth canal — the point where spirit becomes matter.
Ultimately, this is a love letter to the life force. To the body that births. To the desert that remembers. And to the shimmering moment of bliss that plants itself in our memory — asking only to be watered with presence and reverence.
text in the painting says, ‘A MOMENT of BLISS. Use it as a Seed, and Water its MEMORY’.
