JOURNAL | INSIDE THE STUDIO

Picture
Picture
The birthplace of all Rose's paintings begin where many have sat before her, at an Edwardian oak drawing desk. Sitting on a carved tree trunk, beneath a collection of earth minerals dating back to over one hundred and seventy eight millions years old, Rose opens her thickest, oldest film travel journal.
Turning the creased cream lined pages of her polaroid journals, she returns to the feelings she felt on the road, captured on expired film. The film expired some thirteen years before she took her photos, creating new landscapes accompanied by ink and light leaks.

To see memories of being five thousand feet above sea level, in the green mountains of Kauai and hear nothing but rain, see only mist and moss on the iron rich red earth below again in her journals, resurrects inspiration for her next painting. Her brushes, kept in a locked drawer to her left, her watercolour paints, in a mahogany box with the ying yang symbol carved into its lid. She opens the box, dips her brush in the rainwater collected, in a glass corked bottle.

Somewhere between Billie Holiday, Lana Del Rey, Velvet Underground, and the endless chime of her silver jewellery, her soul begins to speak. With names of her pieces of surfacing as she paints, her visions emerge on paper each inspiring its successor. A flow of intuition, unpredictability, experimentation and energy creates one painting after another.

Picture
Time is forgotten. Incense burns. Portals are born. Codes are painted, Dreamscapes appear. Landscapes are bent out of perspective. Emotions are rediscovered. Auras expand onto paper.

Volcanic lava rock with its endless chambers inspire the next piece. Then the tiny intricate structures of her collected coral. The muted faded colours of a postcard inspire the next piece, posted in 1921, with the words in smudged ink on the back reading "all alone waiting for me, Nellie" she wonders who wrote on the postcard all those years ago.

The incense burns out. The last song plays. The thought of time returns-to her mind. Closing her black sketchbook, she places it back into the dresser. Caressing the curves of the desk, she blesses each piece with santo palo, calling in its true owner. Placing each painting into the drawers of her bureau, she wonders who each piece will belong to one day. What will they feel.

Picture
What do they look like. What is their story. What will her paintings ignite in them. Perhaps a moment of stillness, exchanged through from her own minds eye, into another. She pulls down the rolltop oak lid. Turning the handmade edwardian silver key, locking her memories, travels, stories and paintings inside safely inside, until they are called to their true owner.

TRAVEL | EARTH ARTIST ROSE EADS IN OAHU, HAWAII TRAVEL JOURNAL ON THE ROAD

Banana Leaf Palm Plant
For two years consecutively, I spent one month in Hawaii. Never so in touch with the Earth and its energy I felt, until I hiked the volcanic Islands in the Pacific Ocean. These islands, Oahu, Maui and Kauai, all created from the centre of the Earth, have made an enormous impact on my practice and my internal thoughts.

To feel at home for me, is to be outside. In the heat. The warm, wet air. Amongst what I regard to be the only truth. Nature. Because, we as humans, have lost our Way. To find the Way, we must return to our own roots. Cancel out the noise and try to remember.

They say "We were born in the trees, but we have forgotten that." Translating a lost language of the Earth through intuition, guided and nutured by nature, is a part of my every day, back in the studio. Recording all the lessons I learnt on this journey across Hawaii, to remember what has been forgotten and remind others.

Learning from the flora, fauna, the history of the land. Respecting the volcanic activity deep below that chooses to take back the land when Pele decides - the Goddess of fire and volcanos. While on the road, I photographed on Polaroid captured moments in time, feelings and thoughts.

This is the Island of Oahu. Having spent so much time on these islands, they have become a second home. A place we will continue to return.

A familiarity now, before unknown. I often return to moments in the quiet mountains at Manoa, down by the river, observing a hundred river shrines stacked by individuals. A  place of solitude with nothing but time and time was finally our friend. Hawaii, until we meet again. Aloha.
