"leaf art"
Pressed Australian Peppermint Tree leaves
sewn in between purple veil fabric and blue Saturn
with gold thread...the six top leaves have separated from the enmeshed
old order to head towards unity
Nature collage
finished artwork 220 x 210cm
The third piece is
‘Separation leads to Unity’
Each time I gaze on the third piece of ‘Leaf Art’ my heart is filled with wonderment, love and gratefulness for having been honoured. Honoured to have been called to find Bahá’u’lláh.
'The huge awareness and understanding I gained after reading the description Bahá’u’lláh gave about the importance of understanding the meaning of separation, is what guided the spirit within this piece. When Bahá’u’lláh describes the meaning about the two edged sword theme that came from the primal Point’s mouth and that it only had one meaning, separation, my entire being becomes uplifted and my breath is refreshed with cool sweet air.
In this piece of ‘Leaf Art’, inspired by this particular text, six leaves have left, have separated from the group. Even though the group pattern is beautiful it is at an immature stage of uniformity and is veiled. The six separated leaves have pulled the veil back and now have to find a new way to come back together but this time not at an immature state of uniformity but at a newer level, unveiled and in a more mature stage of Unity.
The fabric again represents veils and the ‘Fabric of Life” theme. The square shape is being used to symbolise the thought process of moving out of the square.
‘Thinking outside of the box’.
Again the thread is to symbolise the relationship between the spiritual realm and the physical realm. The colour purple and the gold thread are to symbolise the high station, the realm of spirit, plays in this process. The connection between detachment and the importance placed by Bahá’u’lláh, on the process of separation, is what speaks the loudest in this piece to me.
