The Key
collage, 5.75 x 4.25 inches
The key to my inspiration for making art, for me, has always been the interconnection of everything in the universe, particularly humans and the rest of the natural world. It seems that far too many people see us as separate from nature, when we are all parts of the same interwoven universe; science tells us that we are made of the same elements and originate from the same place. As Joni Mitchell said, "We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year-old carbon, and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden."

Yes you're so right; everything is connected. Love the Joni Mitchel quote. And the bird has the key:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eric; glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteConnected and responsive to that connection whether one likes to admit it or not.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue lines on the figure. It reminds me of the electricity one feels after a soft kiss on the neck. xo Carole
Thank you Carole; I completely agree about the connection, and I like your interpretation of the blue lines on the figure. xo
Delete"... back to the garden.". that sounds quite magically inviting. even without a religious connotation that is just really promising. gardens in bloom!! n♥
