RAINMAKER There is a particular value to this work for me as it is from this that a series of work inspired by Australian aboriginal art was born. I was impressed by a painting of the same name which represented a spirit capable of bringing rain so as to nourish the Mother Earth of his ancestors. I wished to use reclaimed materials, I had canvases from former sheets with family history, a particular soul. I felt that this fitted perfectly what I needed to transcribe and express and in the same tradition. To make way for our ancestors speak to us, in order to reconnect with our environment, our body. Like a spirit caring for our evolution despite its strange appearance. The different symbols are significant to me and certain are found in the aboriginal language. Furthermore, their shape and positioning simply appealed to my imagination. I let myself be driven by my preferred colours of that moment, without prior study. At the time I did a lot of fabric painting to customise clothes and I therefore combined these materials with the acrylic that I had at home. It was purely personally motivated, like an introspection, letting myself go in a realm that I appreciate. A simple moment of pleasure without any specific expectations. There is something poetic in the immense, ghostly, dreamlike form, linked to nature in a world where humans aspire tolive in harmony with their environment. I painted it on the ground during these few holiday days. It is suspended on a piece of driftwood, floating.
