Visually, the idea of a 'Triptych' where a central painting is seen in relation to 2 on either side is a structure that has inspired painters and visual artists across the centuries and is part of an iconography that we have come to understand instinctively. Although these paintings are most often seen in churches, I am interested in learning from such beautiful and fascinating works to create something that has spiritual relevance for today. The images in Triptych are symbolic and invite the audience to draw on their own experience to understand them. There are some very broad themes; ritual, fight and flight, life and death, struggle and the pull of gravity, cellular and human inter-relationships, and archetypal themes, but Triptych is mainly occupied with the senses; and attempts to reveal how movement, visuals and sound can awaken them. |
