New Works, Sacred Space
Following an intensely close involvement with India over the last three years, Janet Pierce's recent work came about as a result of a highly mystical experience at the source of the Ganges, high up in the Himalyas, where she spent a month meditating and painting in February, 2006.
The word OM, from the ancient Sanskrit alphabet, is the sound of the Universe or the Source of God, and reflects Janet Pierce's desire to return to that Sacred Space within, through meditation. Using gold leaf from Old Delhi, these new abstract works on paper have resulted in an intensification of earlier considerations, her hunger for transcendence realised through the contemplation of landscape and of the cosmos.
