The Muses collection
STACE .
In this gallery you will find a collection of my most recent exhibition - dedicated to 'The Muses' I am pleased to say the collcetion has completely sold out. However, I am more than happy to take commissions.
Each of us has at least one personal Muse, perhaps as many as the legendary nine, or more. In ancient Greece, the Mother Goddess, when referred to as the White Goddess, was the original Muse, the wellspring of all forms of inspiration. Later, she became worshipped as a threefold goddess, and eventually as nine smaller, less significant goddesses.
Most people, when they think of the Muse, associate her with poetic inspiration. But the original Muse encompassed far more than poetry and the creative arts. She was associated with nature, healing, music, celebration, fame, comedy, tragedy, astronomy, and erotic expression. Indeed, she was the catalyst for all forms of inspiration.
The Muse today can be the means by which each of us discovers our own personal sense of meaning, our creativity, our aliveness, our passion. By contacting the sources of inspiration in our lives – through reconnecting with experiences of serenity, pleasure, and empowerment in our past and present (as well as awakening to new forms of meaning) - we can begin to create lives which are in deeper attunement with our own needs.
The Muse is the original creative force. We depend upon her energy for creating and recreating ourselves and our world, so that we live in greater harmony. In order to discover, cultivate and continually live from our creativity, we need to find and name our own personal Muse or Muses.
We can experience our Muses, we can learn to listen to their melodies, and to the sacred silence from which their songs are born. We can, as we discover them, uncover and recover our lost and latent selves, and begin to live again.
Let us do so. Let us, along with Carlos Castaneda, find our "path with the heart," and with Joseph Campbell, learn how to "follow our bliss."
