#Selfie 16: Demons and veils
Ground for ‘Black” – one of two exploring negative and positive imagery
As I think I mentioned, each one of these paintings has had it’s own ‘arc’ from concept to completion, which I’m only partly in control of. This one in particular has been a journey I wasn’t expecting.
I wanted to put the ‘positive’ image on the black ground, and the inverse one on white… Here’s the drawing
While I drew this I was actively wondering what the empty space at the top of the square was for. Not planned, but intuitively deliberate, if that makes sense. Then in the middle of the night this happened…
And now the painting is about being wrapped in cobwebs…. ikes.
Cobwebs are not my intention, nor an indication of how I feel.
Done.
Now it’s about veils, and the Self behind the face.
…just one of fourteen journeys….
