solace, 10/2014, 30x22, transparent watercolour on 140lb r.w.s. watercolour paper

i am fascinated by the traditions of northern european artwork. images in my work often imply ideas or even function as full-blown symbols. mostly i like making pictures, but i especially love pictures that lead my mind into mysterious territory.

in this image i've assembled lots of items; elegant dried flowers,geometric solids, a mirror, an empty bowl, a privacy screen. for a title, i chose solace as the combined images suggest the places we often go to find remedies for loss.
