“The Knight Series #2”

"‘I am knight’, ‘I am angel’, ‘I am devil’ and ‘I am God’. I am the choice that I am to love and also the choice I am to die. To know I can die and keep dying in the eternal moment of now until I have let go of everything that is outside, and only I remain.
This immense power of self love and creativity is all we have – in every single moment in every single place and with every single connection past, present and future. It is who we are and to know our self as what remains is how we can serve this earth because we then know we are all one." — Kellie Wells
Kellie Wells references imagery from the historical tapestry of traditional religious and cultural storytelling with specific interest in the creation and re-creation of our individual and collective experience of existence. By exploring and re-presenting long held beliefs, symbols, rituals and teachings the objective is to expand one or all of them into any of their other infinite possibilities of creation.
The Knight Series #2 is supported by City of Melbourne.
