"Thermals IV" |
I am exploring a painterly myth for myself
to explain the power of what I see and feel. Nature is a mystery - volcanis
activity hidden from view by steam and the earth's crust. It is fascinating
not to know everything and to be out of control. Here my view widens past
our own short time-table and lives.
The connection to the body and viscera comes after I begin working as I translate that experience into something which suggests a personal connection - a physical one. The hot flowing lava becomes the blood coursing through the arteries.
