The Box

"Shaman in a Box". Mixed Media. Approx 21" x 21" x 4" deep.

We exist in a wide-open cosmos -- each of us less than a speck of dust in terms of Universal Size. To cope, we build our boxes and insert ourselves within -- miniscule packages of Ego, iD and self. The Shaman attempts to find the key to a wider view -- that perspective that serves to unite the self and Universe. Some succeed. Some fail. The reward is not in the destination, but in the journey beyond the complexity of the ordinary.
