Description

I am always reticent to describe my motivation and where I was going in my surreal art. However I will say there are two concepts flowing in “The Cosmic Tree”. A tree of life has been used as a common motif in various world theologies, mythologies and philosophies. It alludes to the interconnection of all life on our planet an serves as a metaphor for common descent in the evolutionary sense. Trees are life giving, we know this through scientific study and without them we are doomed.

Plato wondered if the world as we perceived it is an illusion, and modern mathematicians grapple with the reason math is universal, why is it that no matter when or where you look 2+2=4? Maybe that is a fundamental part of the way the universe was coded. In other words, is the universe the Matrix? Could we be living in a highly advanced computer program, and not be aware of it? Would this mean we create what we see?

“The Cosmic Tree” may hold something different individually, and some may reject its implications. “The Cosmic Tree” was an unconscious creation, in that even I did not know the outcome. I am not sure all it means for me, except to say, I believe in the duality of both the theological and cosmic possibilities.
