Key elements show up again and again; text in the form of scripture, prayer, song and lyric, and ideas of a new land, landscape and a sense of place within it. <br /> <br />The Nunc Dimittis series stands out. They refer to the song of Simeon, used as a canticle (a Christian hymn or chant) in various liturgies. <br /><br />Luke 2:29 – 32 elaborates and refers to the sighting of the Christ child by the old prophet Simeon, and his readiness at that point to depart, to leave, to be dismissed from this life because he had seen and held the promised Christ. His wait was over. Scripture also conveys an unwritten sense of settling and settlement.<br /><br /> <br />The Common Prayer series carry ideas further. ‘In the Bonds of Love we Meet’, and ‘Let it Rain’ are Influenced by the Common Prayer Book of Anglican up-bringing. Works are linked to this land, Aotearoa, to its vision and its unifying national anthem.<br /><br />The Common Prayer Book was a vital link between the Northern Ireland homeland of her parents and the new home they would eventually make in Aotearoa NZ. ‘The prayer book gave them a sense of cover and commonality amongst other Anglicans; they could go anywhere in the world and be at home’, she says.<br /><br />The Kakanui series is a place where ocean meets sky and red ladders appear in the landscape. The work ‘When Jesus called to Peter at Kakanui’ suggests new insight occurred there. <br /><br />Design is a key element in Elizabeth Love’s work. It brings a sense of measure and placement of the artist’s language of marks. These show up as deft sweeps of colour; of semi circles, banners, crosses and other motifs.<br /><br />Ideas for new works seem to be constantly arriving. These are thought about, developed and presented though they may take a number of years to resolve. <br /><br />Elizabeth has dedicated Lifesong to the memory of her father.<br /><br />Moana Tipa<br />Community Arts Writer<br />November 2010<br /><br />++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br /><br />Nearly a year on & I am understanding more about these works with the help of my Learning Connexion mentor <a href="http://www.annemariejean.com/">Anne-Marie Jean</a>.

What makes your artwork so special?<br /><br />I believe we are all created for a wonderful purpose, as written in Psalm 139. <br /><br />13 For you created my inmost being; <br /> you knit me together in my mother's womb. <br /> 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; <br /> your works are wonderful, <br /> I know that full well. <br /> 15 My frame was not hidden from you <br /> when I was made in the secret place. <br /> When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, <br /> 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. <br /> All the days ordained for me <br /> were written in your book <br /> before one of them came to be. <br /><br />I enjoy working as an artist because it feels like my perfect job-fit. When I’m working, sometimes I will jump around because I’m s-o happy with the way the colours are! I’ve never felt that way about any other work I’ve done…<br /><br />5 You hem me in behind and before,<br /> and you lay your hand upon me. <br /><br />I think what makes an artwork special is when people connect with it. Like when people buy a painting. There will be something about the painting that made them remember a time that has passed…<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ibsstl.org/bible/verse/index.php?q=Psalm+139">Psalm 139</a>.<br />Today's New International Version<br />International Bible Society<br />© Copyright 2001, 2005Elizabeth Love (née Acheson)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09988227329331970522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195494842146711823.post-4129707924155799882009-06-07T21:03:00.003+12:002009-06-07T21:34:33.585+12:00Question 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xQ1uzv0hLA4/SiuEuTW56fI/AAAAAAAABPQ/U4SeK0q_Bjc/s1600-h/Soft+is+the+Heart+of+a+Child.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 273px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xQ1uzv0hLA4/SiuEuTW56fI/AAAAAAAABPQ/U4SeK0q_Bjc/s400/Soft+is+the+Heart+of+a+Child.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344511313810418162" /></a><br /><br />detail<br />Soft is the Heart of a Child (I)<br />Mar 2007<br /><br />How did you get into art and what made you interested? (Did someone influence you?)<br /><br />I’ve always enjoyed the process of making art. I remember the first drawing I did at school. It was of a bus. I didn’t have to catch a bus to school, because I just lived up the street, but perhaps I had been read stories about children catching buses to school! That is how my art works...I read a story or a poem, I listen to someone speaking, I see something...I think about it & the thoughts come out as symbolic images. In my studio I still have one of my childhood books: Mother Goose – A Collection of Nursery Rhymes by Brian Wildsmith. Sometimes I look at the colours for inspiration.<br /><br />My mother especially influenced me when I was young. She worked as an embroiderer so always had lovely fabrics around & hung out with other ladies who also liked to create. We had art in our house – I liked looking at it, thinking that an actual person had made it. It’s the same way I look at art now – I look closely for the brush marks of the artist, I think about the materials that have been used... <br /><br />My mother encouraged me with my art-making & took me to see exhibitions. I remember one exhibition in particular...the artist had made some large abstracts using a series of dots. I don't think I had seen work like that before. My mother didn't like them, but I sure did!Elizabeth Love (née Acheson)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09988227329331970522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195494842146711823.post-66059105831510757292009-05-21T23:10:00.008+12:002009-05-21T23:37:16.919+12:00Greetings to Highfield School<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xQ1uzv0hLA4/ShU25yYG8vI/AAAAAAAABPI/kiGsP3g1Vxs/s1600-h/identifiable.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xQ1uzv0hLA4/ShU25yYG8vI/AAAAAAAABPI/kiGsP3g1Vxs/s400/identifiable.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338233299720925938" /></a><br />Identifiable Marks series<br />Elizabeth Love<br />2006<br /><br /><br />This week I was e-mailed the following questions by a 10 year old pupil at Highfield School, Timaru...<br /><br />1. How did you get into art and what made you interested? (Did someone influence you?)<br /><br />2. What makes you enjoy being an artist? What makes your artwork so special?<br /><br />3. How long have you been an artist for?<br /><br />4. A lot of your artwork on the website is Mixed Media. What does that mean?<br /><br />5. Do you have some of your paintings in exhibitions in other places around New Zealand?<br /><br /><br />I thought they were great questions.
