Spring Labyrinth: Where are we going?
For a third time I stood contemplating the stone labyrinth. Again I shot twenty photos in twenty different directions. At home I excerpted triangles from the photos to create this diptych's left side; then flipped the set horizontally to ground the right side: an inner landscape mirroring the outer one.
Where are we going? So many unknowns to consider... Eventually the labyrinth itself in its green setting shaped a response, while offering hints of how to proceed. The bold forms and colors on the inward-looking side derive from the "Spring Fresco," painted on the island of Thera in the 17th century BCE. The faint glyphs in each triangle are taken from Linear A, an undeciphered Minoan script.

Spring Labyrinth: Where are we going? is a new work, never shown before. Its price is based not on presumed value but on labor.
Each diptych will ship in a sturdy mailing tube, as two high-quality, semi-gloss digital inkjet prints, each 36" by 36" (or smaller, if you prefer). Both sheets will be numbered and signed en verso - one with my name, one with my monogram.
Buyers are encouraged to choose their own format for framing and display, e.g. fine art foam board; narrow (black) metal frames; a wooden, hinged, free-standing, diptych frame.
