Other World 1
Acrylic and collage painting 20" x 15" I recently experienced some scary health issues; I was forced to take forty hyperbaric treatments. During this process, you are sealed in an airtight chamber for two hours and oxygen is pumped in at two and one-half atmospheres of pressure. It is like being confined in a horizontal phone booth. I have that behind me now, and my health appears to be better for the moment. During this time, I found myself creating imaginary worlds in my art studio. I am not sure if it means anything psychologically or not. I think I wanted to escaped from the world I felt trapped in, and I started creating images of other worlds. My worlds look dark and moody. I am not sure how to interpret these images. I would much prefer a bright colorful world. I believe now my other worlds were tainted with the fear of the unknown as they came into existence. I wonder if that is reason they appear sad and lonely to me?
