Art as Visual Language for Awareness of Self

The author describes her ‘Art as Visual Language for Awareness of Self’ method from its beginnings in ‘ground-works’ and a ‘calligraphy’ mode of notation to the development of a complex ‘basic-format’ or grid, which forms the basis for a series of artworks. Acknowledging the impact of her encounter with the French Provençal landscape and tradition of working the land, she indicates that her method seeks to remind us of our origins and of our relationship with the natural environment.
