Wood triptych with paint, stencil, and collage was made around 2004 as a"fly or die" challenge to myself. I flew, as symbolic art can be a wonderful personal catalyst. When no one else gets you or your dream, make your own vision real with art. It aids that leap of faith.

It is really cool how serendipity of choice can be read backwards as being highly intuitive. This builds the "knowing" strength and a few symbols in this piece proved to me that the unknown is far greater than the known. and we may "know" more than we think.
