Reseviour
 Reseviour Contact for price "Reseviour" 92cm x 183cm2008 Acrylic on timber ply. Fully reversable painting, with all the fixtures to hang either way.
Reservoir depicts the interconnectedness of all things. The central
theme is about the four colours of people on the Earth, as described in
Black Elk’s vision of the four sacred colours of the sacred hoop and the
tree of life. In the painting each different cultural group is
represented in a blanket or cloak decorated with symbols from their
cultural practice and beliefs. As shown these symbols and practices are
in direct relationship to the surrounding natural world, as they flow
out of the landscape and on to the quilt. The quilt itself forms a
cocoon like structure around the four people, in a way that unites them
and highlights symbols and forms which are perhaps relevant to all; we
have the four cardinal directions, the four elements, above and below,
male and female, conscious and unconscious, day and night. Location California 1 comment | Post comment
