Installation – Message Lines From the Heart

Leni Kae is a Sydney-based spiritual artist and writer. Her visual and written works are largely inspired by nature and its energy – exploring the depths of nature’s connection to the human spirit and emotional landscape. 

Through ‘Animal Spirits’, Leni examines how the unique nature of animals (personality, cultural stories, symbolism) can deepen an understanding of the self. Her new installation piece ‘Message Lines From the Heart’ extends her practice to a 3D exploration.

An illustrated sparrow appears to fly through page within a poetry book, holding a silver thread like a line that connects pages, poems, lines.

“Through this mini-installation, I wanted to convey the gentle yet transformative power of nature, words, art, love. I combine two of my poems with a drawing of one of Aphrodite’s animal spirits – her sacred sparrow. The lightness of the paper medium combined with whimsical illustration gives the appearance of a fairytale story coming to life. This love story however has no end. Much like the cherry blossom tree that is reborn every season, it blossoms from page to page, with hearts connected through each poem’s ‘message lines of love’ – carried by the sparrow between lovers’ hearts.”

– Leni Kae

The poems have been written by Leni Kae to complement the theme of love, connectedness and the discovery of a deeper sense of self through love.

Poem #1:

I will 

Draw a line

From my heart to yours

So I will always

Find my way

Home

~ Leni Kae

Poem #2:

…I Will 

Write a poem, and create art so sweet and light

That the lines themselves appear to lift from the page

Whereupon Aphrodite’s sparrow

May carry message of my love

Home

||

To your heart

||

Where I belong
