Remembering How To Turn

REMEMBERING HOW TO TURN
There are periods in a life when motion stops. Not dramatically — no collapse, no crisis. Just a quieting. A stillness that arrives without announcement and stays longer than expected. And then, one day, something shifts. Not a decision exactly. More like a recognition. The body remembers what the mind had forgotten: how to move again, how to turn, how to return to its own rhythm.
Remembering How to Turn begins at that recognition.
At the centre of the composition, a stable navy circle holds its ground — calm, grounded, certain of its place. Around it, green petal-like forms and radiant arcs of magenta reach outward like a mechanism finding its rotation again, tentative at first, then gathering. The background swirls with layered texture — subconscious movement, accumulated memory — the evidence of everything that happened during the stillness, working itself through.
The palette moves from deep, anchored blues into luminous magentas and greens — the chromatic journey from inward weight to outward energy, traced across a single surface. Built with acrylic, gesso, ink and glazing on birchwood panel, the work balances softness and structure in the way that only genuine momentum can — playful without being careless, precise without being rigid.
Flow is never lost. It is only ever waiting.
