"Suspension of Belief" Digital Collage. 2007. Print size 16" x 12".
The time is the beginning of the new Age -- where the mysteries of Old begin to collide with the New Order of Rational Science.
Schematics clash with philosophies, magic with machines and yet, in the midst of this war, many of us find ourselves without a defined side....or, too fully aware that both sides echo our internal workings -- this is where the difference stands out - sails majestically onward despite the spears and arrows of society.
The figure holds the Raven (messenger of gods, scryer of souls, the darkness of the inner self) while traversing stormy seas. Bouyed atop the back of salmon (the Celtic symbol of wisdom)....and offers an unflagged sturdiness of being....while protected by the grace of flight.
This is a suspension of belief....the path of wide-open perspective in the face of a mounting pressure to see only one side. And time...ticks inexorably...also suspended above this plane of evolution - the secret strength of change.
