SuburbZen
TRISHKILLINSN Nature is my inspiration – Creation is my therapy! Following a peaceful meditation practice, I spend an hour or so looking for inspiration in nature. I then go to my workspace and begin to choose materials to work with. I usually pick semi-precious stones, charms, wood, or chains and begin to create. Once I have created my piece, I will then begin to look for the symbolic meaning in the materials. I reference stones, crystals and their healing qualities, colour psychology, spiritual symbols…..
