Sequel to Painting and blog BROKEN OPEN!




Behind the Art.
 The experiences and feelings that inspired the paintings.
(Affected by stalking behaviours)
Living and transforming!


*
Life had become disastrously odd for me.

Propellers race above the Thames!
The crowd watches!
Lucky she got back before the feds!

Sometime was to pass before I returned to painting after the easy flow on old paper with first painting Broken Open.


www.saatchiart.com/LaviniaDeAyr 


WITH GENDERLESS BEINGS!
1.      BROKEN OPEN - An expression of explosive and sudden change!
2.      TRANSFORMING…….An expression of a grounding life force – calming sudden change!





Once I did return to paint, open to whatever wanted to be painted, it was still an easy flow. Because neither painting I was to create was intended for public view.

The first painting interprets exploding energetic field, the second interprets transforming that into calmer energy, working with watercolours while combining sketching with painting, maintaining a figurative focal point.



At the time of the creating of the two paintings was one of the most intense times of being targeted by the particular style of stalking, which I refer to as trophy stalking.

I came to the understanding of trophy stalking, when shortly after moving into my new home, I went out with relatives and friends to lunch. I had a non-alcoholic can of drink, a very well-known brand! When I returned home as I was making my way upstairs to my flat, the same brand of drink was left outside the flat of the person I had a brief encounter with! It would appear that the whole point of doing something so simple, yet effective enough to prove someone knew where I had been. It was a way of letting me know I was being watched! and the need to intimidate! But in actual fact, it was nothing more than proving how nosey they were, and the onset of a form of co dependence, played out with much bravado to make it not look like what it is.

But none the less, being only human such a situations does take its toll, there is only so much one person can do against the pressure of well supported campaign. 

Yet, it can never be taken for granted that any such endeavours, intentions, or need for such attention, would be or remain non - violent. An incident had occurred before I moved house that I did not relate to being part of the same problem, trusting life to be back to normal after first being stalked. I returned home to the property I was to move from, to find my bank statement on the floor outside my front door!


There was nowhere I was to go, not even inside the privacy of my own home, where I would not feel or know I was being targeted. Whether I was in hospital, at work, at a funeral or wake!

*
Something would be said.
Somebody would be sent.
*
 It is tiring and oppressive
Not impressive.
Accused of being trouble!
Nothing but a hard working mother!
Getting on with the job of two!
*

For my own healing and protection,
I let my poetry narrate my life experiences,
In between explanations!
*
It is not just paper
Colour
Shape and paint!
*
Brief encounters
The appearance of friendliness
Old patterns forced to fit
But I still noticed the beauty and opportunity of my surroundings.
*
I loved
Orange sunsets
Misty mornings on the banks of the river.
Walking over the historic bridge.

*
Artists, designers, entrepreneur’s vibes
Telethapy filled the streets
And the skies.
With so much history
 River merchants
Who created growth and economy.


*


 I was just walking down the road!
I had been stalked before…..
……..I was approached by a man much older than myself. We started talking, while in conversation I think he may have mentioned he had been watching me for some time or had seen me around. No alarm bells went off! He lived in an area that adjoined the area I actually lived.


At the time of meeting this man, I was a young single and was the parent of a toddler. We talked and laughed, finding out we had music in common, an industry he was involved in and had ambitions of making it in, a singer himself. He was involved enough in that business at that time to know about up and coming new artists.

I agreed to go on a date with this man, admittedly I was not completely attracted to him, probably the only attraction for me was that he was years my senior. There was a feeling of resistance in my stomach area, I did not perceive that as a warning, no alarm bells went off! I was just open to try and see if there was love, I did not find it that hard to trust. At that point in my young existence, I understood marriage and relationships to be about more than love at first sight, infatuation or lust, therefore a lack of attraction did not necessarily mean it would not work out.





As I agreed to meet up for a date I remember turning to this man and jokingly saying, “don’t turn psycho on me”! Yet again I did not know how to perceive this as a possible warning!




The dating was short lived and came to an abrupt end.


I moved on with my life, dating and making friends with other guys and people.


He did not, this man went onto rage a stalking campaign which lasted about 7 years! Though at times intermittent, the threat of him coming back to attack me by forcing his way into home, or following behind me as I walked down the street at times on his push bike, or emerging from doorways or from around corners to restrain me in the street in front of my child, while my hands where filled with heavy bags of shopping, as well as my child holding onto my hands, which meant I then had to struggle to get free from him, while trying not to injure my own child in the process!

Eventually, we had to move from that particular neighbourhood, a place where my child loved living!
*
IT WAS A LONG LEARNING PROCESS TO HEAR GOOD.
*
One decision!
One answer!
One yes!
Hoping for the best!
Result!
Years of torment!
Living!
 Yet experiencing distress from someone else’s inability of acceptance!
*


Anything after abuse seems good!


I was young and naïve, if I had the right kind of guidance about how to use my instincts or how to listen to higher intuition. I may have been better placed to pay attention.

First instance when this man had stated that he had already observed me, maybe that ought to have been a red flag!

Second instance when I felt resistance in my stomach area, and realised I was not that attracted to him. Maybe that ought to have been an alarm.

Third instancebiggest lesson that with experience I would have listen to differently, was instead of turning to him and joking 
“ don’t turn psycho on me”, in that moment with practice and experience. I would have turned that around into a question, and ask myself very quickly ‘is he going to turn psycho on me’?! How different life might of been.




I had not long lived in the area where I became a direct target of the date/stalker. I had moved to that area having witnessed someone else surviving stalking/assault. While yet again trying to move on in life and make a fresh start for myself.  



Previously aware of such behaviours in the neighbourhood I had grown up in, from childhood to teenage, where the stalking behaviours were directed toward other relatives. Though in those days it was not recognised as stalking, being a child not understanding the full impact of the behaviours, my unawareness meant I found it all very funny!

INTRODUCING EXCLAMATION POETRY!
FOLLOWING NO GRAMMATICAL RULES!
ALLOWING THE VERSES TO SPEAK ART AND EXPERIENCE!
*


The warning bells did not appear to go off for me, but they were there.
Living life at home as part of a large family was not a bed of rose petals for anybody.


Years later I wonder if that is why I could not hear.
The warning bells when they did appear!

*
Born into bruises!
Drinking in guilt with the milk!
While happy babies drink love milk!
Soap suds!
The roller that was the biggest iron!
Now fancy dance vibes!
Family was a crowd!
Not just two point four!
Poor not proud!
Veg on the floor!
Picking up the manure!
The stalls!
*
Born into bruises!
Instinct messed up and tarnished!
Life screams unclean!
Female automatically dirty!
As she struggles to find her worthy!
A willingness to pass her over!
Deemed as an object!
Once innocence is taken!
She negotiates the city of predators!
Even if she can get on the elevator!
*
AUTOMATIC DENIALS!
AUTOMATICALLY DENIED!
*
It comes in like a melody,
Inspiration is like a harmony.
*
Propellers
Supermarket car parks.
Leather braces
The belief in walking in some kind of line.
How many years have you waited!
Slow.
No treasure
Just the island.
Light feet.
Side streets.
Impact and flee.
  Car doors and scaffold.
I must show you so you see!
*
We always have one of our men in!
Do not think we do not see.
Life threatened for not wanting to live negatively.
The absence.
Not of spiritual essence.
*
Taking notes under the arches.
Doing everything to make me feel down hearted.
Jealously and qualification.
In the plane line at the foreign location.
*
Feeling forced to respond.
The test is done.
I fail you keep the money.
Yet in your dis-ease.
You still cannot leave.
Farms.
Only an up the street location.
*
Poison in the wiping of the lips.
Tiny ears as life no longer grips.
Tight loose straight curls.
Transport and prayers!
Questions 
Glasses frames
Answers.
*
History and ancient monuments.
The horseman stood bold!
*
The years mixed.
ANTICS FROM THE ARCHIVES.
The tape broken on the curve.
The crystal vase smashed into powder.
The premature life whimpered.
Outside the pub sat the girl.
Loose brown ponytail of curls wiping her mouth from side to side!
Premature indeed.
Deliberate failure.
Another house entry anomaly!
*
BENCH MARK FOR TOO MANY ANTICS OVER TOO MANY YEARS!
I do not blame the disbelief!
Or the refusal to believe!
Forced to point fingers!
This is not the way I wanted to have to speak!
*
Strangers!
Indirect patterns of communication!
Large envelopes.
The riverside.
The bulky couple with underarm information!
I am just going along to get along till I can get out!
Yet a constant display of antics.
Forces me not to be able to keep quiet so I can get to the life I need to lead.
*
Years later!
We get up again!
Just my child and me!
Huffing and puffing!
Moving away!
*
Another neighbourhood!
Another landlord!
More antics waiting!
Every day on my life lawn!
Grass is a bit greener!
Things still make it difficult for an employer!
*

I cannot help my response observing more behaviour and antics!
I am only human getting on and wanting to get on.
I find myself wondering…….
Who are you….
….. to tell me what to do!
Lip syncing as you walk past me trying to tell me what to do…..
…….go in and sit!
How do you even see through what I may or may not need to do!
The length of time you have had to sit and watch me live!
Creating judging and testing my mothering skills.
Create a distraction, see if she falls for it.
Well, of course I fell for it! It look genuine. Until the  head was hit!
Then I find myself at the location no doubt predicted.
Staring at the poster on the wall.
Era of the marks woman and hoaxer was born.
Get ready set go.
I know exactly where your thought is going to go!
I know exactly what decisions you are going to make!
I know what you are going to do next!
Right back to my childhood hell!


*
Take one innocent!
Don’t let go!
Watch, copy,
 Follow!
*


Twist to more serious antics,
the greed for more reaction!
*
Watch for medical weakness.
Just where the aura is bound to have a whole.
Visit the hospital clinic,
Waiting in the waiting rooms for the right moment to come to shove the negatives in!
Rust copper adorned with gold.
Resuscitation.
Pushed cones.
Old Neighbourhoods.
Corduroy suits.
Targeted at another hospital visit.
By the taller than most.
Nothing to boost.
Return of the flashing white lights.
Folks seem still hypnotised by grooming lies.
*
Living through a painful operation, fully conscious with my eyes wide open,
As not only my life is spliced.
I take heed and try to warn.
But am powerless as the momentum is about something more than me!
What more can I do,
Other than wait for everyone groomed, and those to help them see through.
Tested for nobody’s sake.
Pressure added because of the delusional.
A couple more antics,
Flushing kisses as I reach for a biscuit,
Rip open her tummy.
Biker thighs cannot feel me,
Just as well,
Considering my location!
Recovery suite after another operation!
The cult theory that used,
 Flaky projection used to manoeuvre me out of my privacy!
I used the same theory to manoeuvre back into living in better knowledge and reverence to my true spirit!

BROKEN OPEN - CURATING. ( Where there is an accomplice/There is also a potential witness!)






BROKEN OPEN!
Where there is an accomplice!
There is also a potential witness!


I originally published this blog before it was ready! Therefore, much may not of made sense to the twenty odd people or more, who would of initially accessed it. The original was more like a free flow journal expression, rather than a blog!




Referring to my work as written images. Once faced with a set of difficult circumstances not entirely of own making, which led me to enjoy my solitude for a considerable amount of time. I used a form of creative communication as a way of overcoming emotional, and psychological trauma, and violence. 

I found it alleviated emotional stress, as I created poetry, that changed the intensity and impact of experiences, eventually being able to paint out the visual affects, deepened the sense of expression and relief.



Curating!
Orange Surroundings Collection.
Inspiration;
Where there is an accomplice!
There is also a potential witness!




Curating is known as the process of gathering objects together for presentation, or exhibition. 



In publishing this blog before it was ready, withdrawing to draft, sitting with it again, curating more. 

I realised how curating could also be an analogy for parts of a personal experience. Something I was finding it difficult to heal from, and create effective changes within, to stop it from hurting me, and to make the problem stop. That is because the experience was not entirely of my own making. In all fairness it would need the person inflicting the problem, to take their responsibility for their own actions, to stop things from happening. But I could not rely on that ever happening. I am the only one responsible for my life, and how I respond. 


Though an unusual comparison to make, perhaps. The curating of objects for exhibition took on a different meaning, when returning home one day, not long after moving house some years ago, I found objects outside my front door, which were identical to my own belongings, that I did not forget I left there, or drop! 

From then on my life entered an era of trophy stalking. 

(I had been stalked before years earlier,  and had witnessed stalking years before spanning back to the early 70's, early childhood.)

This particular stalking pattern was to go on and develop into what I could only term, and describe to others as; 

Watch, Copy, Groom, Create, Predict!

Witnessing this pattern of stalking, tearing up almost every area of my life.  The grooming seem to further relate to curating, only it referred to the gathering of people. 

Also, within the process of grooming, or getting people on side. I came to realise what I was actually witnessing, was the recruiting of accomplices, and at the same time,  the creating of potential witnesses. 

It was about attempts of control. Trying to use one person, to control many! 


I met and spoke to about four or five people initially on the estate prior to moving in.

A situation had arisen after brief encounters. I tried to approach the relevant official person with absolutely no malicious intent toward anyone. My only motive was to prevent the situation from escalating.

Initially dealt with cordially, having been advised my concerns will be dealt with discreetly. While that was true, it was the reaction of at least one, if not two of the people I met that made it all become, and continue to be something more than it had to be. If my concern was wrongly placed, I could have easily been told and that would of been the end of it. 

But something else lurked beneath, and was to continue to transpire. 

Within initial introductions to others, there was made mention of a troublesome character in the vicinity. Someone, I was never to be aware of meeting. The whole area I had moved into was a place of well established patterns.

My own private response at the time, frustrated by the constant antics, was to  be able to just completely let rip, formulating intense built up feelings, constant observations into two poems created years apart, which served as intense emotional release.

A BROKEN MAN 


Trying the perfect crime.

With every life you take.
You become more empty inside.
The one thing you would most hate is to be discovered as a lie.

You push and force your way into people and organizations lives, claiming your place like a king of a fallen and corrupt tribe.

Your head is tense and repetitive, as you convince yourself of your own lies, if people really knew the harrowing pain you feel inside, then they would realize your obsessive need to pull the wool over their eyes.

Do you even realize where your own torment lies?
Can you even comprehend the human right of those you target with your lies?

You must be out of options to kill out right, to many witnesses and evidence left behind. So, why not target a person’s mind? That way you crack them up, and they commit suicide. It is almost the perfect crime!

You mock and jeer feel like a hero, drink your victims fear, you believe your victim’s death is near. You recruit countless people to help you commit the perfect crime, the strength in numbers is in fact full of cowards.

You have conquered and scored with men and women in hoards, yet you feel as empty as an open space, your life is an endless negative race.

Your feelings are hollow because of the falsehood you embrace, if all those you hold in your gaze knew the real trauma you face. Demented by politics and race.

Call names create a scene, just to hide how small you truly feel.  Seeing the demons you have within, totally unaware of the depth of your bottomless condition. You get away with it because no one dear match your manipulation.

It is beyond psychotic and so below spiritual light, it holds a darkness beyond visual sight, it will take a force of great might, a universal meteorite, to show those you have convinced with your malicious need for attention and hype.


Yet even you can find a better life, it maybe difficult because darkness truly does have you hypnotized.

You can keep going after and individuals mind, predicting and wining, they say the ego can never be beaten.

You can have every fight, jeer and mock until morning light.

Claim your fame, in true narcissistic glory.



I am so grateful that I can understand your story.

Not a lot of change happens without understanding! 

Processing frustration by working from gut instinct, to higher intuition. 

The above poem was published for some years on an online creative writing space.

*
Creating the painting!
*
It was just old paper!
I was sitting on the floor!
I needed to do this!
It had happened before!
That chilling feeling!
The locked and opened door!
*
 I felt broken open more than ever before!

I literally did sit on the floor one evening, and sketch the focal point of a gender less being, with an exploding energetic field. There was no fear or resistance as described in my first blog, while starting or finishing this painting, it all seem to flow almost automatically.

Stalked Before!
Not long after witnessing someone surviving assault from a stalking/harassment situation, which was taken to court, and had been carried out by neighbours. Which had taken place some years earlier, not to far from where I was stalked for a second time, after moving home!

First time I was directly affected by stalking, it was an ex, date situation.

His sticking point; Trying to recover from the moment the dating abruptly ended. The man had lost control. He was found out, and he could not get that moment back. The truth was out.  

Again, things blew up into something it need not of been! Fortunately, one attack was witnessed by a guest (who did not stick around to help defend)but was a witness all the same, and by my child.  A very supportive neighbour at the time, who advised me to get it acknowledged in law by a solicitor. I was deeply fortunate to find a very supportive solicitor. 

At that time it was only a one man campaign, his influence did not span out into the wider community, a fortune I was to not experience again! 

The solicitor supported me completely by sending letters to him. It did not stop him. It did create a difficulty in his ability to attack, creating longer periods between  each of his appearances. As a result he began employing other methods, one of which was the employing of children to deliver flowers, and music to my flat. Taking advantage of the fact, at that time as a mother, I was more likely to open the door to a child. 

Eventually, I was the one who had to move to bring an end to the situation. Or what I thought would be an end.

I took it all in my stride, doing my best to move on. I had about a ten year reprieve before it all started again. 



This next poem is written in confrontational style, as I imagine the stalker in front of me, full of bravado about what I supposedly do not realise.

It is not advisable to use confrontation with a stalker. That is if you know who the stalker is, it is not impossible not to know!

In the experience above when I was stalked directly for the first time by an ex date, I used to retaliate to his attacks, not knowing any better, in doing so, it encouraged him toward attempting violence!

Condensed via Poetry!
Years later!

It would stand to reason in moving from the original estate the stalking had started on for the second time, that it would put an end to the problem. Instead below is how I let rip again about a year after moving onto the second estate, and the problem had escalated, even though I never made the mistake of introducing myself to anyone, and tried to keep myself very much to myself, this is how creatively release it all...... 


......... THE TORMENTED QUEST!
In your torment you break into my flat to change things.
You look for information, then you relay it threw to someone to offend.
You use women and children, to disguise your missions.
Torture by the inability to cope with pain.
So you try again and again.
What was meant to be a joke, or a game!
Is your nemesis!
In the fame you have gained.
You still have not found the feeling of control.
Which is your aim, so you cant let go.
You want to be stopped.
In fact, you wish for me to stop you.
For me to take responsibility for you.
Why?
You have chosen this reaction to live through.
To me, you were a brief encounter.
Which means I do not really know you.
Even you will never know you.
If you refuse to let your torment teach you!
*
Blame only loves everlasting pain.
Shame revels in the torment.
The mind recreating every refrain.
Of pleasurable torment and pain.
Together they hold on till you will never see the light of day.
Hate and revenge serves as a constant memory to that which is without foundation, substance, and good content.
It fuels and fills you, till you are seen as the biggest fool.
*
Still the mind will convince you that none of this is about you.
It will keep you believing you are only fooling the victim.
The thrill of knowing you see me outside walking.
While you go in my bedroom touching, changing and using things.
Memorizing all the different clothes I have.
Making easy predictions.
The thrill of it has long been your sickness.
I lived with being blamed for allowing it!
*
I know you are sick!
You are so tormented you cant even stop it.
You betray, hate, laugh and jeer.
I know you have been in here, as I am walking outside.
With that gloat, and that stare.
There is nothing private about my life, so long as you are still anonymously out there, playing twin pairs.
The tormented glare that is used.
That manipulates life to look like despair!
*
There's been a deliberate choice of people.
Deliberate patterns of acting things out.
Serving as great distractions.
Those looks, and cheers of glory.
When you have accurately predicted.
Err..Yep!
A thousand alibi's with a million places to hide.
An entire distraction racket kept under wraps and pride.
Timing.
Coinciding.
*
Though you have attached to me!
I know that you know your time will soon end!
Because time changes everything!
People get wise!
For this to be what you bring to me, as you attach to my life, means  somewhere in your own life, you have to have believed a mess.
You even tried to make it look like protection.
Now it is turning on you like a prime witness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*
Being on the receiving end of someone elses obsessional illness.
Consumes a lot of life time!
If you are fortunate to survive!
*

In loving memory of those who did not make it.

Fallen yet arisen.
