Is this part of the piece itself - perhaps a series of blow-ups close-ups of the stone angel printed on white?<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of the repeated stone angel as a kind of visual rosary. I don't know, but does the number of angels correspond to the beads on a rosary? I also like the wonky squares as they feel much more natural. Ethiopian religious illustrations have always attracted me as a delightful graphic art - a kind of early comic strip, and this lovely piece of yours has a similar appeal. <BR/><BR/>I also find it interesting to see how your square of 'loops' echoes the petals on your waratah flower.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested in what you say about looking at memories in a detatched way. I have been finding that exerting an intellectual rigour to subjects somehow allows the emotional elements to contribute in a subconscious way, thus leading to a much better piece of work for me. I wish you fun and success.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477480.post-1130337498232913252005-10-27T00:38:00.000+10:002005-10-27T00:38:00.000+10:00I like this piece.
