BEYOND THE BACKDROP OF YOU: a photographic letter to universe

It is from Nothing that everything comes and goes.

To participate in this Universe is our greatest ability and responsibility.

We began this creative process through seeing past the omnipresent and traveling beyond.

This is the space of saturated blackness that encompasses fertile thought; of imagining some-thing into be-ing. The pieces before you seek to capture Creation in simplicity and called forms. Let them each be a meditation, for it is boundless and it is what we deeply honor here.

Take a moment. 
Notice.
This is the reflection of you.
Where you are now —
Yet where you can go is beyond.

GROWING TOGETHER

Press your ear to earth

Listen to

all that is

From morning

To moon

To burst

And bloom

Press your ear to earth

To hear her say

g r o w   t o g e t h e r

sweet one,

this I pray.  

‘Growing Together’ is a series of watercolor paintings and silk printed scarves by Kelly Maria Francis.

Inspired by her observation of earth’s tender acceptance.

May we continue to be comforted by the infinite rhythm.

Floral + sound installation in collaboration with musician Cool Martime at The Victorian Valley Chapel, Eastsound, Washington. Followed by gallery show and silk scarf installation at Material Wit in Eastsound, Washington.


SOFTLY, SLOWLY

I stand with nature.

And close my eyes.

A fraction of stillness received.

I become witness to the gentle symphony.

The intricate movement of life on the wind.

‘Softly, Slowly’ by Kelly Maria Francis is series of watercolor paintings inspired by her meditative conversations with nature. The beauty and rhythms of life on the Puget Sound. Each piece, an everlasting reminder of the fluidity that surrounds us.
