The Territory of the Little People - Storm Clouds Approaching

Image
  The Territory of the Little People - Storm Clouds Approaching The atmosphere over Pine Creek churns before it breaks. The sky stops being a distant ceiling, and tears open into a fevered, gestural vortex, churning in fierce ribbons of cadmium gold, raw ember, and bruised ink. Here, in the suffocating stillness of the build-up, the heat plays violent tricks on my inner eye. As the squall gathers, the twisting ironwoods and fractured ridges don't feel empty; they crawl with the uncanny belief of the Little People, low-slung, watchful phantoms spun from wire, red dust, and dry static, waiting out the road's fragility. Every jagged branch and swirling filament of cloud becomes a face, an arm, a sinister presence breathing inside the rising storm, drawing the traveller deeper into the delirium of the interior.

Over time I have changed Through multiple starting points and many opportunities, I evolved How did authority get inside of my head? A mind forged by manacles

It was so primitive From the 1860s to 1950s They were seemingly untreatable They were feared  There was panic Colonies within a colony A prison for the sick Of appalling living conditions Enforcing social isolation GRIM and SHAME

1981 An Ambitious Artist Back in ‘81  When  Times were fun  As a fine artist  With ambition in mind  I thought of life

LSL 60

At the age of 60, I thought life would be much easier to understand In the '80s, I was painting art inspired by Fauvist, Cobra and Art Brut artists I wanted my art to be raw, powerful and primitive I was investigating our psychological and physical barriers as they failed to protect I wanted to paint self entrapment where sickness and resistance hid any possibility of outwardly demonstrating wellness.

It is the smell that makes life so compelling The delicious smell of damp earth, fallen leaves and aged trees Return to an old wood rain forest to feel it in Sense the decomposing and surrendering of life Get to know the secrets held by the detritivore community Feed on the dead The scent of organisms recycling Making use of death for a continuation of life And allow the decay within to regenerate Picture yourself walking through a forest.  The light is fading fast You are racing to keep up with the light Apart from your panic everything is perfect What do you anticipate?

For a shortish time I flew Without a sense of weight But I was to return Fallen down To here Osaka Cool Twilight Know your roots Where you belong And when you started to seperate To become part of their world  To be driven by  their emotional experience To be part of another's assimilated narrative
