'PNEUMA'

'PNEUMA' from Greek: breath, spirit, wind; related to 'pnein' to blow, breathe.

The cosmos is permeated in all of its parts by a divine pneuma that makes it alive, coherent, sentient and rational. The poet who can invoke this pneuma can see into a shared animating force all around him, from vegetable life to the stars.

“Everything breathes;
everything hinges on the moment
between the taking in and the letting out,
and the letting go.”

Eagles symbolize spirit, freedom, and self-expression.

Tillian lives and works in Bundanoon, a highland village bordering the vast gorges of the Morton National Park. He studied painting, film and photography at Alexander Mackie Art School, Sydney and more recently completed a Master of Creative Arts at Wollongong University. He has had five solo exhibitions and has participated in numerous group shows. Influenced by Indian ritual art, Aboriginal desert painting and Western art traditions, Tillian’s landscape paintings are visual narratives tracing passages and patterns in cyclic time and space. Works are constructed on site during lengthy sessions of immersion in the act of painting and the "happening of place".
