The Female Figure. See Symbols
The Pose. This figure, a noble young Hamadryad, is claustrophobically
squeezed into an unnaccustomed defeated crouch, before perishing altogether.
The Cloth. Lifting vaporously, the cloth tortuously makes its way
to the realm of the non-embodied. It is the expression of the transition
between worlds.
The Surveyor's Stake. See Symbols
How This Image Was Made. The figure was drawn from a posing model,
in pastel on paper. A digital image was taken and loaded into my computer,
where, using Fractal Design Painter, I further modified the composition
until it appealed to me. To see the original pastel, visit the Sample
Painting in the Academy.
An after-note. The last bits of wild land,
already surrounded by urban sprawl, are now vaporizing before my eyes in
my home town.
