dancing in thin places
Finished this canvas last weekend. I guess I am locked into exploring multiple dimensions(represented by the portals). These represent a "spiritual connection". I have found that while painting I can actually experience a "thin place". It has become my new "place" of worship.
Symbolism that I seem to return to is the visual representation of the Fibonacci spiral. In my dancer it is in the motion of her dance of worship. This dance seen as pure by god and therefore perfect (hence the swirl). Her dress is seen on both sides of the portals and in this way she enters into the spiritual "thin place" experiencing both day and night simultaneously. The square motif shows that reality is always in flux. Another note about the portals is my feeling that they represent oportunities in all forms, change, growth and therefore, hope.
I hope to start another canvas this weekend.
