Gathering: the ever present

Sandipa's work expresses her engagement with nature's inner workings. The paintings in Gathering: the ever present are her response to the harmony and inter-relationships that exist within the natural world; time honoured balances that form a basis for its survival. Our human element in this is often overlooked or disregarded as we live and move around in man made environments.

Though an understanding that we are part of a living whole is central to existence, the struggle to integrate into nature is often elusive. Sandipa's perspective summons us to tread lightly on earth and actually live in balance with the natural eco-systems that surround us.

Gathering these perspectives, allowing nature to function through her, Sandipa [pronounced Sandeepa] creates work in a natural bush environment where currents of freedom serve to offer moments of silent pause. This world, with its diversity, its emergent wisdom and adaptability is holding out a hand. Sandipa creates an invitation to fully participate in answers to universal questions such as, 'Who am I' and 'What is my human place within existence?' and 'What is my highest context?'
