'Angels Over The Earth'
242x121 cm 2022

I am submitting this work to the next show. The size does not show that well on instagram.

Angels where once featured in my life and they have returned now because of the catastrophic coming of Climate Change.
What they can do is problematic!
What Humans can do is to wake up the the disasters to come. And the territory will change: the landscape will be uninhabitable. What can the angels do?

'Strange Fish in the Harbour'

'Strange Fish in the Harbour'

Hello my name is Anne Wallace. I am doing one day

Hello my name is Anne Wallace. I am doing one day of artist takeover on the lead up to our next NSA show, The Map is not the Territory.
I am submitting Night Compass (oil on canvas 61cm x 51cm).
It has been through a few transitions in my attempt to establish a particular feeling of place.
Walking locally, sketching and painting, the painting changed to a cooler palette, which is more evocative of air and water, making me think about the space above, below and through, calling to mind a poem by Wallace Stevens called Sea Surface Full of Clouds.
“The sea-clouds whitened far below the calm
And moved,as blooms move, in the swimming green
And in its watery radiance, while the hue
Of heaven in an antique reflection rolled
Round those flotillas. And sometimes the sea
Poured brilliant iris on the glistening blue.

Dream as territory

The cock crows
and I awake alone
recalling the chaos of my dream
a territory of presented images
each place labelled by a name
which does not
quite fit.
Each person not quite him
or her as name yet for one
the memory holds true
and I'm happy she
came again along a sunbeam
to find me.

1. The dream, mixed media on canvas, 100 x 140 cm.
2. Cattle track and sunbeam, mixed media on ply, 20 x 24 cm.
3. Digital mix of first and last images: The dream and Cattle track with sunbeam.
4. Poem by Monika Kostera
5. Exhibition poster, The Map is not the Territory.

Home territory

For most home territory
does not need a map
to explain where one has been
or going
place name or names tells all.
The route home from school familiar
but in December '52 how does
she find her way
a choking soup of smog
blinded a foot away
all is unknown and echoless
pavement edge a cliff
terrified small ghost
among other ghosts of whom?
She made it home I'm glad to tell
but how, she did not know.
(and BTW the king died in '52).

1. Ghost with possible route home, painting overlaid with transparency (24x21 cm)
2. A-Z South Hackney, with Sue, school photo 1952, Lauriston Rd School
3. Ghost painting without transparency
4. Poem by Monika Kostera
5. Exhibition poster, The Map is not the Territory.

perhaps I'll find you
in this cave beside the sea -
grandchildren laugh
and out they run
into the sun
among crystal pools -
if I'm to find you
there'll you'll be
with them.

1. Photo from inside Torchlight Cave to grandchildren playing outside.
2. Digital collage study for painting (detail)
3. Cave & cattle track final painting, 140x120 cm.

I follow cattle tracks to search for where you are

I follow cattle tracks
to search for where you are,
away from past walks
of gentle words
toward the barn of hollow eyes -
come walk with me
whispers the sea
but not a word
from you.

Painting (initial stage), 140x120 cm

Spirit of '68

I am a prophet
of imagination,
I come in peace,
I have no ambitions,
only nine billion dreams.

This land is echoless
and the king (is) dying
in his palace of gold.

I have lost my way.

Please, come and find me,
walk with me.

Dream gravity pulls
everything lightwards.

Monika Kostera - from her 2015 collection Oneiropia

Tell me where I can find you.
