Ancestors, hope, ancient, suffering
The second in a series which moved me greatly. All painted Autumn to winter 2019, all in rich oranges, blacks and golds, they feel connective to me to ancestral, indigenous, aboriginal spirits. In this piece I represented a form of hieroglyphic telepathy to humanity from the Spirit.
