This one was a wild and wonderful visual trip for me. The first thing I saw was this cute giggly alien thing. Then I blinked and I am looking at all these intertwined bodies and all of this was still just he thumbnail.

One I got the image opened this gave me a whole new mind trip. The detail is phenomenal. You are also getting better at using the black light sensitive paints.

It is so very hard to five a single meaning to this one because I keep noticing new things that bend the meaning in new directions.

The arching loose chain across the top frames the image very nicely and yet the great ball/pendulum seems to be to be pulling the chain tight with a great of energy and this creates a great deal of emotional tension.

The blue lava pouring out of the pendulum gives a feeling of great primal energies involved. The feeling is intensified by the splashing texture you have built into the background.

The wonderfully grotesque figure and/or figures dancing on the face also seem rich with ambiguities meanings. First there is the conflict in the mind over whither there is one figure, two or more intertwined. Are we looking at the dance of a relationship, a conflict of some sort, or both?

Are we looking at the struggles of the all man, the anguish of memory of the future veiled and hidden?

The painting is well done and holds my attention. It leaves me with many half answer questions and asking more.

Nice job
