Description
RIDE ME BACK HOME COSMIC TURTLE-- MUTUALITY OF SENTIENT BEINGS
This is a collage from my painting on canvas with enhancements via digital rendering created here in my studio in Asheville, N.C., USA- -- Paintings, Photography, Photoshop, and imagination are all used interchangeably in my artwork. It's a lyrical fusion of visual narratives in a mixed media collage told through digital rendering, Please enjoy these stories of joie de vivre in ascending sequences inspired by nature.
THIS image explores mythic and symbolic perception where emergent forms narrate spaces of ascending sequences that allude to a journey energized by joie de vivre. It portrays how--with lots of Heart and Humor--Together-- we can "ride" that Cosmic Turtle Back Home to a place of respect and dignity.
The symbolism is based on how cultures worldwide share variations of the story of a "Cosmic Turtle" --one who can find the way to move forward, even manage heavy times.
Additionally, it is about facing challenges-- a visual metaphor for life as we know it. It symbolizes engagement and possible joie de vivre.
MEDIA:: Sketch for composition to canvas and/or paper, sometimes, oil pastels, sometimes acrylic paint. The result then captured as a photo and brought to create a JPEG. Finally, digital layering of the original materials.
Objective:: Narrative art with emotive content- that offers an opportunity for the viewer to interpret the story being told, and thus add to the story. (Some are inner landscapes.) Whether as a digital abstractionist, working as well on canvas and with photography to produce mixed media images, my hope is to engage the viewer.
Symbolism :: Ever a sense of joy of life, transitions, new perceptions that evoke positive change, the embracing of an inner - symbolic-mythic- visual landscape that can reveal how disparate parts work together when visual impressions, founded on simple or more complex designs, build on a promising tale of life on Earth.
