"Signs Are Taken
for Wonders"
This painting was inspired by experiences
in the Near East and personal contemplation
of religious archetypes. As the painting took
life I realized it can be interpreted
in many ways: personal, religious,
archetypal psychological, and
those to be figured out by the viewer.
The poem annulment is a strong poem that was written later
during a personal struggle. If one looks closely
through the veil of hurt and certain images within the painting,
it could also fit as another interpretation of the
painting, that is; questioning outdated dogmas
and traditions of certain religions, the
psychological damage and hurt caused to those outside a particular
faith. It addresses the need for tolerance,
consid- eration and true religious love for individuals and families seemingly tossed aside. |
