IT ALL STARTED WITH A MISTAKE..or was it actually one?

I have often been asked what is the source of my ideation.

I attribute it to just concious observation.... I see the things around me feelingly... observe the moment quietly. predict what is going to happen next..turn emotions into expressions...turn expression into imagery...and put it on 'Repeat....

This is one of those projects which charges me up every time I ideate.

The thrill is exciting and the conceptualization is often spntaneous and gets created while ideating... I usuually start with an emotion..and create an expression and try my best to make my muse understand how to express it.

All of this spurred a neverending idea on expressing human connections to nature with animals and birds

As humans we are always grounded and only a few live to soar the skies. Its liberating, its challenging, its powerful.

I have always been captivated by Aerialists and the sheer strength they posess... the way they are able to tell a story with motion and subtle fluid gestures...

Its calming and astounding in ways words may not describe.

My muses for the project were Kate,Hannah and Claire and amazing beautiful headpieces designed and crafted by milliner Ailish McElroy.

Months into the planning and finessing it over time. The chemistry of the 3 was amazing. I was surprised how artists with the same mind can collaborate to create a masterpiece this way......
