I tend to work in spurts. When I’m ‘spurting’ I just go with it. Currently having fun filling these old frames with pieces of my past artwork which has been altered by my ‘today’ self. Kind of a melding of past and present. The background on this one it from a lithograph I did in the 90’s. I added the wings, and the Earth sign…the circle with the dot.
All the planets, including earth have an astronomical symbol. The Earth’s is the circle with the dot. Despite what we have done to the planet and the biosphere, everyone has to understand that the Earth will be victorious, it will mend the errors of mankind’s short sighted blunders. It’s been around for about 4.5 billion years, whereas humans have been around for about 300,000 years. Although we’ve managed to fuck up the place pretty quickly, the Earth will recover, we might not. In a geologic sense, 300,000 years is the blink of an eye. Intelligent life hasn’t even been around long enough on the planet to have proven itself as a good idea.
