Doorway

2022
acrylic on canvas
105 x 167cm

The doorway gives access to places of different learning. There are various directions someone might travel depending on where they’re meant to be. This is guided and with the blessing of the Ancestors. From behind the doorway, through to the stairs, and past the tombstone are areas people/spirits might travel.

The tombstone is a symbol and place to remember the Old People and all that they’ve taught/continue to teach us. The stairs also represent the reflections we see in ourselves, and the paths we’ve traveled with consideration of what we wish to learn and share with others.
