Your NDIS

We take it in turns to lead & follow. We became curious about the warm peppery aromas & the shifting cool breezes rising up from the creek below. I notice that you brush your fingers across the tips of the dry grasses & blooms as you walk, enjoyjng the sensation. We find butterflies, parrots, robins & a blue tongue lizard. We chat & we listen. We are quiet. We are beyond the city & in nature’s care. There is a sense of safety & freedom.  As a companion, I guide you to slow down & to notice what you are experiencing as we share a walk and talk.

We meet at an exhibition. You are working towards your first exhibition & we are taking time to reflect on your creative process, see other artist’s work and have conversations about what you enjoy making.

Sometimes we sketch in the gardens & other times we work on your artist statement, resume & portfolio. We work on what feels right at the time, allowing space for conversations about life.

“What are you noticing?” We begin with what we can see. We laugh when this turns into a playful game. Then I suggest that we listen to sounds which are close and sounds which are far away. We begin to touch the different surfaces and textures. We notice the coolness of sea water and the warmth of the rough rocks. As we walk, we notice the sea breeze lapping against our exposed skin. Then we pause to notice the scents & aromas which we can smell. We notice how this comes & goes. We wonder what this moment tastes like, as we cast our shadows across the dry wetlands with the sea breeze rustling our hair.
