I’AM…

I wanted to make the process of art making more alive. I wanted to be in the forest. I placed my art materials in my car.  I went to the forest and started playing.  It consumed me. I felt so energized, so different. Was it the trees? The forest ? Or me?

I wanted to connect with the force of nature. The trees felt familiar. I felt accepted. I felt loved. It was fun too. I didn’t know what exactly I was doing, only that it really made me shine.

It was better with closed eyes. I wanted to sense that force. I wanted to feel that love. I wanted to be that aliveness. I blinded myself,  to not be disturbed. I kept that feeling within. Allowing myself to be guided by that force. 

My materials have different shapes, and textures. I experiment  and play with my materials. I hang them on trees, I place them up against tree trunks,.

I wear them. How can I navigate wearing all this stuff, and be almost blinded? How does it feel? I invited other people to join me in the forrest, it could be fun. Maybe they would feel the energy too? Trusting our own nature. Within.

The first part of the video “I’AM…” duration 34 minuts. 2022.
