About a Painting... Frontier


In “Frontier” I've used the opening barrier as a metaphor for the ability to move beyond the boundaries of rigid thinking...  to give appropriate consideration to new schools of thought with regard to science, governance and social dynamics. 

It is wise to consider the contributions of various cultures and nations without prejudice and undue influence. 

The image also references the literal freedom to move without excessive restriction from place to place... to experience different geographic locations and peoples, and to foster diplomacy, cooperation and understanding.

About a Painting... Frontier


In "Frontier" the barrier is used as a metaphor for the division between what is right before the eyes and that which is unseen... the visible world and things metaphysical. Spirit and matter. Where does one stop and the other begin?

The barrier could also be closing in on a mind with a fettered world view or opening to celebrate a happily altered state of being.
