"Deep root, lofty trunk, dense foliage: from the center of the world rises the thornless tree, one of those trees that knows how to give themselves to the birds. Around the tree whirl dancing couples, navel to navel, undulating to a music that wakens stones and sets fire to ice...The tree of life knows that whatever happens, the warm music spinning around it will never stop. However much death may come, however much blood may flow, the music will dance men and women as long as the air breathes them and the land plows and loves them." Eduardo Galeano
One Love I
This is a collage of tapestry fabric, quince leaves, acrylic gel medium, and acrylic paint on stretched canvas. I included the serpent to culture-jam the meaning of the "evil serpent"---the serpent is an ancient symbol of kundalini awakening and the divine knowledge in every human being. That changes the story a bit!
I added a "Fresh Paint" section to the sidebar so this remains on display 'til the next one!
Bless.
