Rebirth 1998 • 48"x60" Both the snake and the butterfly are symbols of rebirth and renewal. The painting speaks of the feeling I was experiencing during a transitional time in my life. It was a feeling of stasis, poised between the past and the unknown future. Dream: I had agreed to teach some children to fly. I kind of wished that I hadn’t gotten involved in this project. I decided that they should send the boys off to do something else since I didn’t think that they could suspend their grip on reality long enough to learn to fly.         Previous | Next Back to thumbnail index
