Pure land

September 1 to September 21, 2018
Linton and Kay Galleries, Subiaco WA

Beausein’s interest in phenomena such as synchronicity, intuition and the experience of beauty and their connection with some sort of unknown intelligence in nature is explored in ‘Pure land’. Her enquiry into these concepts has led her to Buddhist and Japanese Shinto philosophies.

Traditional art practice in Japan uses art as an expression of devotion; in this manner these works convey my reverence for Nature as an expression of the Numinous
— Claire Beausein
