Always a fan of color and
pattern, I have a great time
playing with both. That
certainly was true with this
piece. I also enjoyed
playing with framing the
image making it almost
unrecognizable.
This piece was originally
created as the center
panel of a "Celebration
Triptych" - a collection of
images comparing and
contrasting strong
ceremonial visuals from
different cultures. The
central element was
almost abstract when
compared to the other two,
but ironically was even
more visually celebratory
in spite of this. For this
reason, it has always been
my favorite of the three.
