The Wayfarer

Finding My Way is an acrylic and oil stick painting on wood panel part of a series in development for the upcoming Con-fluent exhibition at Pataka Museum & Art Gallery (21 Feb - 12 April 2026). The Con-fluent exhibition is a collaborative project between local visual artists and poets. For this occasion I collaborated with Charmaine Thomson who is a published poet. For our research we delved into the concept of “domesticated Minotaur”, the deeper, symbolic meanings of Labyrinth, and the role of red threads and ropes as a pathway to sexual and spiritual liberation. Finding My Way is a playful expression of - when being caught in complex maze of pathways - with the help of glass of good wine and taking of the burdensome clothes - there is joy and freedom to be found in a little intoxication.
