Haley Haberfield
Raw, instinctual, earth-stained and soul-rich.
As a mixed media abstract artist, the process is incredibly important to me. When I sit down to make, I know I am creating space within myself for what's honest and wildly natural, unspoiled by the stresses and obligations in my life.
What I found within is a trust in the process and myself, a freedom of spirit translated through marks, colour and texture.
The gift of these pieces for me was in the making of them. Now they are gifts to you, to bring that sense of groundedness and expansiveness into your homes.
CONNECTING WITH NATURE, WITHIN AND WITHOUT
Explorer and explored, traveller and terrain - there is no denying that we don't just exist in nature, we are nature. We are rooted in earth and our soul rides on wind currents. We are made of salt water and iron and stardust.
In times of adversity or apathy, connection to our own raw beauty and instinctual power is more vital then ever. I hope these art works become potent reminders of your own wild nature and place in our achingly beautiful and diverse universe.
'There are moments that explode and become stars.'
- Octavio Paz
