Abstract art can be difficult to interpret. The aesthetic qualities stand alone, but our experience of them is so much richer if we can also understand why they came to be. In 2021, Grantown-based Joanna Wilson’s art took a metaphysical turn. Through the medium of paint pouring, she discovered a number of symbolic affinities between the colours she was selecting intuitively and her own psycho-spiritual needs at that moment in time. The healing properties of certain crystals, the revealing inner wisdom of oracle cards and the outward sense that a greater power is at work helped her to join the dots between her own creativity and Creation itself. The result is her heartsong: a collection of visual vibrations that invite us to connect, reflect and find resonance in the pure visual music of abstract expressionsism itself.
