Love is

S/N variant edition of 15

black, copper metallic and rose metallic on Springhill 100lb white

Love is: This piece is my reaction to my father’s illness and death. The Queen of Hearts has a lot of meaning I relate to. wLove is the obvious symbolism but she also represents the arts and business. The halos are nod to religious iconography, specifically to Mary the universal mother

of god and someone who my father had a strong spiritual connection to. Mary spoke directly to me in Notre Damn in Paris and let me know my father was going to die 2 weeks before his death. The Queen’s clothes represent the physical universe, sun & moon and being left here on

earth as he moved on. The blue star pattern is another nod to The Lady as represented in religious icon art. The top figure has her third eye of consciousness ripped out by grief and she is seeing all through emotion of the heart which has been ripped out of her chest. The reverse is

slowly regaining my third eye and the white light of connection to the other side. When you put the prints next to each other you’ll notice the spectrum is flooding the Ace and pointing to the three stars in the sky. They are repeated in the bottom halo. The black rose is a symbol of death but the white calla lily, while associated with death holds the meanings of rebirth and innocence. Their crowns have a version of the winged orb but the central figure is a heart with the pramantha flame of knowledge rising from it.

The repeat pattern is a combination of the symbolism in the two figures combined.
