UK Tour

‘Where are we Going ?’
UK Tour 2012 – 2013
Exhibition by Kim Major-George & Steve Thorp

 

A thought provoking exhibition of stunning hand pulled prints by Kim Major-George and framed poetry by contemporary poet Steve Thorp linking together for this UK tour.
This exhibition highlights the Global Shift talked about by today’s modern prophets and for thousand of years by the Ancient Elders and indigenous groups.
Kim and Steve both feel passionate about the need to replace the unsustainable models that are currently in use and redirect our advanced technology to create a cohesive civilization that works with Gaia and leave a world of plenty for our children.

This working partnership has come about after the successful collaboration these two artists created in 2009 on a touring exhibition entitled ‘The Wisdom of peace’ , that exhibition was greatly admired and went to four different venues up and down the country.
This new exhibition collaboration in 2012 – 2013 covers some venues in England, then to Wales in December and then on to Scotland in 2013 ( dates to be confirmed)

 

About the Artists

 

Artist /Printmaker – Kim Major-George

is known for her spiritually themed images, reflecting her own personal journey, her interest in poetry, philosophy early spiritual iconography, Ancient civilizations, and mythology. She likes to work with poetry and finds the marriage between images and words often forms the starting point to her work.
Steve and Kim work hundreds of miles apart but, uncannily often work very much along the same lines, coming together as the themes and creative thoughts begin to resonate, and if they both feel it is right they work on taking it forward. This felt right and an exhibition, tour and new book has been the results.

Words from Kim …”I come from a spiritual but pragmatic view of the global shift that is taking place throughout 2012 and beyond and the constant themes of finding new ways to fulfil man spiritual and material needs dominate my new work. I find the ancient visionaries, from the Hopi Elders saying ‘We are the ones we have been waiting for’ to the modern visionary view of ’Break down or break through’ says it all. I believe the need to come together collectively to evolve and rethink this modern, all consuming world, is a priority before we are made to change by events outside our control” .

Poet /Therapist/ Activist – Steve Thorp

is a consultant psychotherapist , integral coach, activist and contemporary poet who has been working and writing in the fields of human wellbeing and education for over 30 years. Inspired by his many clients, the ideas and words of James Hillman, the Dark Mountain Project and others, his writing and teaching is now about 21st Century Soul – a suitably, indeterminate force of human imagination and identity for an uncertain world. He is currently writing his new book entitled ‘Coming Back to Life’ where he explores this theme in greater depth.

Words from Steve … “The need for change is becoming urgent – but I know this can’t be achieved by activism alone – nor through a faith in some spiritual evolution. There’s a necessity for integration and indignation, for dialogue, uncertainty and courage. There’s a simple need for people to face what is lost, live good and creative lives and to be the change we want in the world. This is what these visual poems are about. It is, at once, a meditation, a lamentation and a gentle call to arms”.

Steve has published a number of well-received poetry pamphlets under the creativethorp imprint and works as an integral coach, therapist and consultant. Steve also blogs the small stuff at his Psycho-bubble site!
