Letter to My Body

Written By BOHIE

To my dearest, dearest, dearest love. 

I want to treat you, my darling. 
To sit back, and take you in.

All of you.

From your cashew toes 
to the subtle hues of each individual freckle
on your skin.

You, my angel, my sweet one, 
my luscious goddess of a wild one,
you are the one for me. 

You are my greatest treasure,
my gift from God,
my borrowed jewel.

I want to gaze on you until my eyes forever close, 
basking in the warm glow
that radiates from you so purely, so naturally.

You, you... 
you are inescapably insatiable. 

You, you... 
You! 

I want to breathe you in until I cant take in any more breath
and then release into the spaciousness of your splendour.

I want to cast aside my own clumsy boundaries and brittle edges
and melt into your magnanimous endlessness.

You 
are my soul mate. 

You 
are my vessel, my conduit.

My mystical…
Magical…
Aliveness.

You
are my reason to exist.

You
are my laughter
my tears
my touch
my pleasure. 

You 

Are every breath.
Every delicate, precious, 
Bone tingling, life-giving breath. 

You 
are Magic embodied.
Creativity embodied.
Ecology embodied.

Thank you, my darling. 
Thank you.

Based in Braidwood, NSW, BOHIE creates art, illustration, public space murals, and creative workshopping experiences that explore wonder and connection to each other and to the natural world.

She works alongside educational institutions, government agencies, community focus groups and stewards of the natural world to design change-making campaigns for each creative project. Bohie utilises a research-based methodology to find inspiration for her artworks, resulting in 2D images which are laden with deeper stories and symbolic meaning.

This narrative driven conceptual development injects her unique authenticity and grass-roots integrity into the public arena, which she sees as a conscious challenge to public advertising. In a time of rapid change, extreme instability and a globally recognised feeling of imminent threat, Bohie’s art provides messages of hope and empowerment for a changed future.
