Evolution & Fertility

Fertility

These two pieces were the result of processing some of the things around my life lately (as usual). My sister's pregnancy, James Bond (my son's latest obsession), Easter eggs, marbles, the current nice weather, and who knows what else is behind the curtains in my unconscious mind.

Funny process...it's like a food processor (another thing in my life) in which you add all these things, plus accidental or planned colour combinations, a little of trial and error, and my luggage (or lifetime experiences), and you never know what you'll get. Sometimes everything works around an idea though, but it's always a surprise anyways. At least for me. No wonder art can be so exciting; this creative act keeps everything going on ...and on...

  1. OK, I give, I can see the other references in your work but where is the James Bond thing represented? :)
    Is it the looking down the barrel of a gun thing? I can kind of see that in Fertility.
    Very funky as usual, V.

  2. Love the evolution piece! I miss my time creating art, but for now, school assignments take priority. Viewing your work really makes me long for some hours of cutting, gluing, painting.
