This is a digital abstraction, a diptych if you will. I decided to do this work after pondering it's source photo quite a lot one day. While it looks to be a simple mirroring (it's not, many variables are thrown into the cauldron on this one) it was actually a pretty time and mind consuming work. What will you see? Well, as in any art, the viewer will absorb what they sense a work is, but almost always that will be the case with abstracted artworks. I wanted a fantastical, dark and eerie female torso to be more clearly seen—let's say, it is being made manifest amid all the oscillation and vibrant though decaying plant matter. I have rarely built an image from a more dense experiential field of view, as much of that scene is still clearly accessible in my mind's eye to this day. Hint: I have never seen an area more laden with insects. The ground was alive with all different species of them. Very odd, as if all were called into swarm mode in unison. Over the years I've considered this; I wondered if seismic activity was occurring. Birds were flying erratically and hopping all over the place as well, so, hmm... [It is indeed presented as a spirit rising from the fall grasses about a quarter mile south of Mary Colter's Desertview Watchtower, located at the edge of Desert View Point]
