Solar Synthesis
acrylic/conte crayon, 30 x 36″, 2017, not for sale
Artist Statement
This is an image that celebrates the “dance” of the moon and the sun at a time when they come together to create totality, an event that awakens in those who fall under its shadow a sense of sublime awe and wonder. This synthesis creates a new awareness of our place in the universe and is a metaphor of a new awareness that comes with a balance of masculine and feminine energy. The beetle is symbolic of new thought and awareness.
