FLOWING MEDITATION
2011
The earth goddess Gaea reclining as a river,
falling into a meditative state.
Her thoughts are made manifest in nature -- the countryside shifting from herds in the background ... to small family groups ... to a parent and her child. Together they walk toward the pivotal point where the parent must let go — represented here by a tree.
On their own and without having yet learned intolerance of those different, these young animals in the foreground playfully intermingle. Having walked furthest from the tree, they have develop an amplified sense of intuition. They are not eating the grass in front of them, but rather, bowing to GAEA in reverence.
REBIRTH of GAEA
This is one vignette among many, interwoven to form REBIRTH of GAEA -- a visual tapestry synthesizing modern conceptions of our place in the universe with those of the Ancient Greeks.
