| Secret Creatures | In a world parallel to our own exist the Secret Creatures. They are revealed dashing among the mushrooms or in the creaking of wood under footsteps. Sometimes they speak to us in dreams and we remember seeing them at night when we were children. They can be frightening, but what if they weren’t meaning to scare? They are misunderstood beings; animal like and going about their business without the intention to disturb. Their presence awakens our childhood wonder, something that is not lost, but re-animated to help strengthen our instinctual relationship with nature and magic. www.kellypattonart.com |
