The Universal Fountain
Oil on gesso canvas, 36″ x 48″
The Universal Fountain represents the universal maternal fountain that births grace and love. The model for the face is from a photograph of a Polyneacian Queen, but for artistic purposes, with a thinned jaw line. The painting begins for the center for the endless spiritual unknown and condenses within a maternal, to bring consciousness and life.
The Ladder of Knowledge
Oil on light gesso canvas, 48″ x 54″
The Ladder of Knowledge descends to link humans to the cross or the burdens in life, and it ascends on the shoulders of The One to ask on the path to illuminate consciousness.
Universal Fountain and The Ladder of Knowledge were painted as a diptych. The point of the foot of the Goddess in the Universal Fountain is the continuation of the highest point in the God pantheon explored in Ladder of Knowledge.
Available as a limited edition reproduction, limited edition prints, and open edition prints. Contact the artist for more information.
Sawubona
Oil on gesso canvas, 48″ x 36″
I (we) see you. I and (we) my ancestors see you.
The response is: Yebo Sawubona, I (we) see you, if you and your ancestors see me. In seeing each other, we acknowledge each other in this moment.
We acknowledge seeing each other (and our ancestors) in our histories. We acknowledge our responsibility to assist each other in what we need to be free now, in the past and future. I am a painting, yet I see you and you see me. My story is from people who used the oral tradition, and lived honoring nature. The word Sawubona is Zulu and it has the same basic meaning as Namaste. Now that we see each other in our full past and present stories, how do we help each other regain our sovereignty?
