Finding stillness

Finding stillness.

I visited a Cathedral in the UK and found myself sitting quietly in front of a tomb. The movement and chatter of people around me seemed to emphasise the stillness I was feeling within. This stillness enjoyed the lack of thoughts, the absense of time and I felt an awareness of how all things are connected when we become present in the moment.

The patterns carved on the tomb became a symbol of the stillness I felt and I have repeated this reference in many drawings since. They have become like a mantra, taking me to a place of calmness and peace. The drawing depicts me thinking of the tomb and letting the patterns fill my consciousness. When I do this, thoughts of a separate and individual self are replaced with a feeling of connection. This connection includes stillness, a quiet mind and timelessness. Whoever that person is within the tomb, we are sharing stillness in that moment.
