“(Harmony) offers many subtle and myriad relationships to the aesthetic sense of vision, but it demands that the beholder searches within and between all the parts. This, the journey of the mind, takes time. Additional is the symbolic component. And here the cultural history of the beholder, impregnated as it is with the individual's ‘tribe/ country’, adds another dimension.

“What the work offers is the possibility of searching at both of these levels. The glory is the multitude of relationships…There is so much to be found, and as I search, I realise the fascination of the journey…the illumination that comes from identifying…the joy of observing the subtleties of colours and tones. It is a mental event, and it is time bound, just as in music. But it requires effort or participation to gain rewards/ satisfaction. The more the mind is prepared the more will be gained. Unfortunately for many people their educational background is inadequate to provide the necessary framework for achieving this kind of attitude to life.”
(G.H. Jamieson, 2007)

HARMONY Collection: East Meets West by Moonlight. For three years (2006-08), the artist travelled and worked throughout Asia and the Pacific. She marvels at Asia’s spectacular variety, both of nature and of man-made spiritual artifacts, all peacefully and harmoniously co-existing.

The piece is a simple fantasy with no attempt at realism or deeper meaning. The artist learned traditional freehand and stamp batik techniques (dyes and wax) in an open-air Balinese studio surrounded by rice paddies and Buddhist temples. She enhanced her own batik artwork with a layer of fine chiffon and western embroidery techniques, so that the final piece is a harmonious blend of eastern and western styles.
