Email: sounja2003@yahoo.com.auFrom an early age nature has fascinated me. It seemed that all around, clues had been left by the great Cosmic Artist, and I felt a need to crack the code. I am still a sleuth on the trail! Not only was I intrigued by the forms, but also the mystery within them. As a child I remember puzzling over my collection of delicate Blue Birds eggshells and wondering what their speckled coding meant. It was as though I was trapped in a gigantic magical map.
Mythology & astrology captured may imagination as clues also. My sculpture often portrays mythical creatures that for me represent aspects that are still operating in us today, forces behind form to be understood and reckoned with. Astrology showed me that we all contain the same universe, though in different combinations, however we also each other, and it also reveals also reveals the nature of some starry mythological creatures.
I am mostly known for my "Mer People" and although they are my breadline, their poetry is still close to my heart. They represent the flow and let go of life. I imagine them beneath the moon in the great watery caverns of the underworld, playing harmonious sounds on strange instruments, maintaining the rhythms beneath the subconscious sea, the pulse of lifeblood, heart beat, the ebb and flow of tide and breath.
