Painting for me is like composing music, and composing music is like painting.

In “Reverie in Cobalt and Gold,” I explore the intersection of memory, nature, and the ephemeral. This work is a meditation on the delicate moments that linger at the edge of consciousness—those fleeting impressions that color our inner landscapes long after they pass. The intertwining branches and leaves, rendered in porcelain blues and radiant golds, are both real and imagined: a tapestry woven from observation and reverie.
My process embraces abstraction to distill the essence of tranquility and transformation. The cobalt blue evokes the timeless elegance of fine porcelain, while gold leafing suggests both luxury and the transience of light. Through layered textures and subtle transitions, I seek to create a space where viewers can pause, reflect, and find their own sense of wonder within the interplay of color and form.
This piece is an invitation to linger in the liminal—where nature’s fragility becomes a metaphor for the beauty and impermanence of our own experiences. Jacqui Taylor - Aug 2025

Dark Matter.
I planted a kiss on the lips of Creation,When a dream was the spark to ignite dark abyss.My mind wandered far between vast constellations;Pondered each season and reason for why we exist.
I reach for the Moon and yet grasp the supernal;Eclipse their dull dogmas with all-seeing eyes.In the depth of my quest espy knowledge eternal;That energy, atoms and truth never dies.
One pulse that beats at the heart of all things;An infinite symphony’s vibrating strings.When planets collide and our galaxies scatter,Shall my words survive on the tides of Dark Matter?
I’m so disappointed. Such wisdom I gave you;Could now have harnessed the power of suns.Yet changed these equations to abominations,Thus squandered my talents for profit and guns.
I’ve dined with The Serpent in Eden’s fair garden;Beheld as an apple fell down from that tree.Entwined in my sin saw no hope of God’s pardon.Aligned with the grimoires of Great Alchemy.
Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, Cassini; Tesla, Higgs, Newton, Bohr, Einstein, Dirac.Hawking, Planck, Curie, Feynman & Hubble; Mandelbrot, Turing & Schroedinger's cat!?
One pulse that beats at the heart of all things;An infinite symphony’s vibrating strings.When planets collide and our galaxies scatter,Shall my words survive on the tides of Dark Matter?
You’re too busy fighting, mistrusting, back-biting,To pay due attention to wise ghosts like me.Spend your lives learning, observing and writing;Else lost in Dark Matter your futures shall be.
Turn on the lights!
