2023 pieces - songs, reflections, and memories

"If I ever lose my faith in you, there'd be nothing left to lose."

Empathy Bridge (Diptych)

 



Calling forth the δαίμων


In a moment of inner clarity she recalled the source of her strength.

This is the second work of this series in which I have used the Nike-of-Samothrace...as a symbol of hope and strength. She has an extra wing here and has stepped out of her boat....The Woman in foreground is in touch with her own feelings of power and Hope....

 


When the sleeping giant is 'roused..many uncanny occurrences manifest.

This piece is about primal energies welling up and bursting out of pent up recesses...like the volcano. The uncanny occurrences are caused by attempts, both distorted and clarified, as we interpret and deal with the unsettling effects of transformation on our lives. The fallen statue in ruins, the Janus-headed figure, the weird little lion and turtle, all represent unexpected manifestations.


Icarus Re-interpreted.
In the myth Icarus was punished for his ambition by flying too close to the sun. But are not man's ambitions, curiosity, and natural inclinations, also the source of his more altruistic and inspired impulses? In my re-interpretation the big white feather represents one of Icarus' more noble aspirations and has saved him from from being dashed to the earth...instead he lands on his own two feet, unscathed.

 




She surrendered her fears to the great unknown with but one hope...that her beauty was also her strength.



Ophelia remembered.

 “Even truth can be deceptive, whatever its appearance.”
Karl Jaspers
