archetypal symbols
Archetypal symbols, especially arches and vessels, along with repetitive patterns have all appeared somewhat mysteriously in my work for decades - tapping into personal as well as universal emotions, history, and relationships.
Balance is a recent theme in both imagery and process as the world becomes increasingly chaotic.
“I see doors and connections to the beyond.” Lisa Weiss
