Mist

As winter approaches in the Adelaide Hills, R is n Clare finds herself swept up in a new cycle of energy and purpose. On the cusp of turning forty-two, she is stepping out with her first solo art exhibition after years of deep inner work healing from trauma and grief. At her Exhibition Opening and in the presence of a loving community of friends and wise elder women, R is n meets the young musician, Adam Wrenshaw, a Culann of the Pictish Spirit Tradition of which she is Priestess. Despite the difference in age between them, Adam demonstrates an unwavering interest in her and R is n realises that in the space of a heartbeat, everything can change.'Mist' is an adventure in love and intimacy. As an expression of hope amidst a climate of cultural sadism and the continuing forces of Dominator ideology in the modern world, 'Mist' is a journey of erotic and therefore personal healing beyond the emptiness of 'all's fair in love and war'. Painting a vision of an ordinary life lived in the presence of Goddess and the responsibility that invokes, 'Mist' offers a possibility for life released from the entrenched patterns of domination and submission, violence, and the eroticisation of violence.
