The Dark Moon is the New moon .
Dark Moon celebrations in Bali, known as Tilem, are monthly sacred occasions for purification, reflection, and honoring the sun god (Dewa Surya). Held during the new moon,I made this series of works Art Works last year when I was in Bali . My intrepetation is more from that like the lotus grows from the mud upwards and each moment has its own potential.
These 74 little sketches I did during that time and are a series of reflections .
With all the happenings world wide , it is a little like rolling the dice .
Each work consist out of 24 A3 sheets of bamboo paper
Being like a leaf on the breath of Time
I have these three completer 5 more to go
That frozen moment before the tide changes
This appeals to me . Into the Light .
Also like the mind , things that pop up .
