A Journey into the light was originally, like most of my works, an abstract painting. After the initial frenzy of its creation, it took six months of meditation to reveal the purpose and imagery of the painting. Figures and designs eventually coalesced into a complete vision with a comprehensive theme.
It started with the small figure in the foreground - the bedraggled wanderer obviously on some kind of mystical journey. The fireball had in it's flames hundreds of images as well as a large face I took to represent that of my god.
Minute amounts of colour were carefully laid down to bring out what was already in the painting and as it evolved it became for me a fundamental statement of my own and perhaps man's journey through life.
I was in search of a loving God and the abundance that is promised by so many modern spiritual theologies and yet like the wanderer, I was poor, struggling and in fear that this journey was going to kill me before I reached the "promised land".
The images in the flames held every vision of what I held to be abundance - a wife to love, a god, wise and mighty companions, food, animals, water, loving parents, a chariot driven by 4 horses and the ability to manifest as represented by the blue avatar in the center of the flames.
This painting shaped intself into what it was through the accidents of its creation - another example of spontaneous apparition. I did not intend to create what is there. It just happened.
