| My
first memory was when i was four, camping on the beach with my big Maltese
family being woken by the lolling sound of waves and getting up to a sky
of rising light and softness, the beauty of crystal clear Mediterranean
sea gently meeting the sandy shore in small waves, and with my bucket and
spade earnestly building sand castles. Perhaps this is what has drawn me to my iridescent quality of glass, a frozen liquid and to sculptural images, moulds that involve playing with sand and stirring and mixing magical qualities. Still trying to make my sand castles !!! I have always been drawn back to the sea, my first love. Spending endless summer days snorkeling in the warm Maltese waters, even to the extent that i was once caught by a fishermans' fishing line and got hooked in the mouth .... Coming
to this beloved island of Erin was a shock to warm blooded system where
the cold Atlantic sea is concerned and spent many years trying to persuade
myself that the cold was only in my mind until wonderful Jane invited
me to swim with Mara the dolphin and lent me a wetsuit- what a revelation
this was ! .. at last i could catch up with my love of being held and
the free feeling of youth and the ever changing oceanic hues of steel,
grey and soft blues of the beautiful seaweed gardens that i would love
to explore more of. The sea keeps me in touch with the ecstatic aspect
of myself and always brings me great joy and deep respect for the magnificence,
power and strength that she manifests for us and the deep unconscious
world of or minds reflected in all the mystery that she holds swimming
and living within her. |
