Bone Singer
Reconnecting our natural world with the Divine
The Art of Susanne Iles
I am a contemporary symbolist painter, writer, and curator, with interests in mythology, divine alchemy, dragons and ancient history. At the Bone Singer Studio – Gallery in Castletownbere, County Cork, Ireland, I invite you to explore how myths are unearthed and understood in their spiritual and sacred context. Experience the healing energy, knowledge, larger truths and ancestral wisdom, which give form to the forces shaping our world.

"For bones are like seeds: everything that dies goes into the earth, and from the earth new life is born in the sacred cycle of existence." Quetzalcoatl as translated by Willard Gingerich
In divine alchemy the elements are represented by air, fire, water, earth, and quintessence. From these we are made manifest, our bones supporting spirit; beauty wrapped in nature.
Despite the passage of time, bones live forever. Their remains contain everything which has come before us. Myths, dreams, and all that is forgotten, are held in the memory we call bones. The bones of the Old Ones sleep softly deep within the earth; their wisdom nourishes and forms the landscape.
Through the song of creative expression, the Bone Singer breathes the old bones back into existence, reconnecting our natural world with the Divine. The symbolic language of the artist inspires and fosters recognition. It opens hearts, opens doors, allowing light to nurture the sacred space within. Reuniting spirit and nature awakens the re-creation and renewal of the Soul.
The Bone Singer sings the stories into existence. Beauty begets beauty; creation begets creation, and the world is created anew.
