Amp year comes from my Combustible Fairytales series: Fairy tales are our collective recurring dreams/nightmares. In this series I'm rolling up images, themes, symbols, colors, numbers, all the stuff that comes up in fairy tales again and again--nature, young death, curses, silver cups, silver pools, clouded waters, pins, poison, beauty, monsters, the rule of three, tasks, challenges, seven mountain peaks . . . Bunched together into a ball of abstraction with super massive black hole gravity which collapses and explodes reborn, reforged, changed.
Or maybe it is just wandering and plucking images as if they are wild flowers and arranging them into a bouquet.

Original: Acrylic, Ink, Paper, Glitter on Linen.
