Fantastic, you capture her and free Her in two different ways
Interesting view point Gary, hadn’t thought of that, thank you…
Texturally rich and full of meaning…….thanks John
I love the textures in the photo too Robert and also the way the staining from the Madonna relief have manifested on the rocks around her. It was a wonderful discovery amongst crabs and mermaids…
You have me considering ‘icons’ John…the place they’ve held in my life. Little doorways to experience adoration….the falling into and under and with.
Perfect gems, your words…yes, portals into myth, faith, imagination, memory, longing and love. Not only in churches, ancient walls, shrines, but also in sepia photographs on mantlepieces, the talisman necklace and the posters on the teenager’s bedroom wall…

me
