Jay McKay Blue mind
The term, blue mind, refers to the healing state of tranquillity that comes from engagement with a body of water. In the chaos of the modern world the ocean provides an anchor for the self. Mind and body reach a steady rhythm with the ebb and flow of the tides, opening space for clarity, focus and peace. My body of work represents morning light and emptiness along Cronulla’s coast line, exploring the behaviour of light, stillness and movement to express an intimacy with the environment. The blue mind is a universally understood state, creating feelings higher than one’s self.
