Philautia ii (self love)
My first interpretation of this type of love is a work on paper – now only available in giclee print form. This version takes the self love idea further – it is the centrepiece of the Love’s Lexicon collection; the most important type of love, from which all the other ‘positive’ types flow.
You will read 2 quotes which are incredibly important to me within the work
“may we love ourselves enough to love another” – (my friend Bryony)
“…your one wild and precious life” – from a poem by Mary Oliver
An expression of self-knowing and liberty, perhaps the moment before flight in a dream. We are at the helm, so we must be the pilot of our lives and treat ourselves as we want to be treated by others.
I have also created the piece as a diptych, I wanted the 2 panels to symbolise how we must love ourselves as we would another. It also means that the art work is easier to transport in two 50 x 100cm panels with 2 simple nuts and bolts at the back (no tools required)
