Original painting for sale in deep gold frame - please enquire. Once upon a time... there was a seed. The unfolding organic tree form with roots emerging from the chaotic background represents the growing of a story in the telling, from the first telling at the root, to the twisting and twining branches, changing as the tale is picked up by many tellers, changing through additions, mis-rememberings, forgettings and sheer mischief. It represents the growth of the human soul from the first seed of consciousness, or the growth of a relationship from the first seed of knowing. The unfolding tale is of the growth of life itself. |
