Damini Celebre
I love to be outside: to lay under trees, be near water, or sit curbside with closed eyes and listen to the invisible energy of wind, insects, and bird songs—To listen to how Nature interacts with us.
I experience a world where everything IS alive and has spirit. This intimate, energetic connection to Nature is at the heart of my work. My passion is to translate that energetic expression into the language of color, shape, and form: the language of both Nature and our subconscious-body memory.
Each piece starts with a simple acknowledgment of the Place: Hello, thanks for allowing me to be here and to connect with you—how would you like your energy expressed? The first layer of each piece is done while outside: this is where I begin a call-and-response dialogue with the Land.
I work in different mediums because each one helps bring forward a different energy expression of Land. Some pieces are completed on-site. Other conversations continue in the studio, where I go through different iterations of dialogue. And, just like memory—impressions surface, get covered over, and gems are excavated. The multiple layers represent the various ways we experience Land and the barriers to understanding that keep us from connecting to Nature.
I invite you to suspend trying to understand these pieces and to open your senses to let the energy in each painting resonate with a shared energetic connection between Land and Self.
