Underground Lines

Facing the windows in the tube train, I realize that instead of a view towards the far horizon and the expansive thoughts that such a view allows, the rhythm and repetition of the blurry power lines on the wall of the tunnel forces my thoughts inwards towards reflection.

Introspective thoughts are helped along by the flow of the moving train and creates internal space of limitless potential.

The tube tunnels flow like underground rivers, mirroring the flow of blood through my body. My mind is still, while my body continues accelerating through time and space.

The works in this exhibition reflect elements of these journeys both internal and external.

Being perfectly still,
Yet moving,
Running,
Like an underground river,
Your body loves,
Changes and disintegrates.
