Wings

Wings - Painting with Nature - 2023.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The artwork opens up, radiating, almost beating, reminiscent of the unconscious rhythms of life. Leading you, to a place you come to, when you are ready, strong enough, worked enough, suffered enough, brave enough, to open yourself fully, and embrace the new, the unknown, your future. 

The process is labour intensive shell by shell, Mandy explores and follows her intuition, searching, sorting, and selecting the right form from thousands for its specific shape, size, and thickness. 

As the light moves through the day, so does the art, reflecting light and casting shadows to form a mesmerising, contemporary, and textured piece of artwork.
