Nebulous Sleep — Billy Shannon 2016

‘Nebulous Sleep’ Acrylic on Canvas 865 x 865mm 2016 A self-portrait sleeping, and some of the nebulae in the Cygnus constellation, which was directly above me at birth. Each night before sleep, I program myself to try to reinstate the original ‘pattern’ which is Billy. It is a healing process and aimed at dumping some of the muck that we accumulate throughout our lives. It is also part of a several years long exploration of sleep.

Thoughts Made Visible

It continues to be a very busy end of the year!


Thoughts Made Visible — Jugglers Art Space 2016

‘Thoughts Made Visible’ a group show at Jugglers Art Space. Exploring the way artists create by making manifest our thoughts on the world, our ideas, feelings and experience. A process that happens both immediately and over many years, our work is an outpouring of various aspects of our observation, research, synergistic correlations and beliefs.
