Mnemosyne, Goddess of Memory

the 3rd eye..the brain… the chin on the nipple the pentagram the open palm…... these things i will …......remember…............. wonderful thomas…......b

instant favorite mister… ah, Dodd. (almost called you shifter there)

So many wonderful elements complete the design perfectly Thomas…....superb artistry!

Thomas this looks so much like a painting to me( I hope you take that as a compliment) Beautiful layering and the “halo” ? eye and other elements really add to the narrative.

I know what you mean agnostic leaning towards athiest, I come from a family of Cathalaholics and never fit in that trap of organized religion…...prefer my own ideas,thank you.

Great work again!

I was already weird? ehehe ok so this made me more weird.. ;)
I love your art Thomas..
hugs

Thomas, I’m SO glad I’m not the only one who believes this. Your image is awesome and haunting. You’ve got a unique style and I’m looking forward to seeing more!

Ancient times, egyptian even… Lovely use of texture and layers as always !
The eye is important and strong. We are all made out of layers and carriyng the past with us. The ghosts of our history. A sort of collective and individual unconsciousness…
I’m wondering what the the circle- sign above her head means ?
I was brought up catholic too. Still young I decided not to follow dogma’s.
But Im also still influenced by it too, tha’t is for sure.
Love the warm way you bring this image and symbolic message Thomas.

So dark and bewitching, it commands your attention and your thoughts – excellent.

Goddesses..
The Eternal Return..
The Universe remembers..
The Silence remembers..
The Light remembers….
Re-membering… is re-joining the members of the lost identity.. scattered by the explosive force of creation…In order to get to the origin… we must.. we do…. re-join and all the objects of Life come to vision… of Tao.
Just one problem…..
for us… human beings..
To remember is a faculty of the brain… for survival..
and it creates Life but… anticipation..
We project..ourselves… and are anxious about what we project..
Survival is pure stress..
so…. re-membering… has a double edge walk….
let… Nature do the work..
and leet us submitt into a Conscious Oblivion..
where all Universe caome to Life..
once and again.
Rosa (Your Goddess is inteligent and misterious… though.. she feels tired…..really tired… needs a couple to let her forget… )

great high art Thomas

Hi, my name is Jennifer B and I’m a recovering Catholic. ;) Another powerfully, brilliant image Thomas. Would you believe, when I was four years old, I went to a State funded, Catholic school in England? Those Nuns were soooooooooooo charitable to us poor, poor kids from the Estate… My very first poem at five years of age earnt me god knows how many Hail Mary’s and a short, sharp whack on the hand from a cane… actually, I think it was the accompanying illustration that captured their attention. ;) See what the brilliance of your Artwork inspires? Yes… it’s all about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :-P

brilliant thomas,
great shot that makes you look and think for ages…love that!
bravo!

Sad to say – we usually envision only one or the other in our programmed minds…

would you like a little deprogramming support Thomas? ;-)

Yes, that explains a lot about me too ! Hadn’t thougt about Madonna yet but that is indeed a famous example.
Time is a circle indeed…
We are soulmates. Nice feeling.

I like :)

Excellent…great textures & composition

Collective consciousness visually rendered in a most beautiful and provocative work of art!
Congratulations on a powerful, successful visual image … that really gets under one’s skin!

excellent image, works on many levels but the real master stroke is the DNA stack in her hand showing all the ancestors. – surperb idea’s & production

can’t really see the Fetus unless it’s the very top of the stack, can’t make a face out of it so it could be the fetus —might just be my Laptop poor screen, will check on my CRT PC screen next time I’m on it

Interesting picture, as for the rest who knows who is right and who is wrong. The end may be the only truth we know..

Stunning work Mr Dodd…wonderful effects and layering and I love the ghostly face;)

AWESOME Image!

Haunting and powerful

Profoundly interesting…awesome image!

This is freaking awesome! I agree with your comments also!

My goodness what an amazing image. I’m with you on this belief!

Oh this is so very good!

nicely done. i go a bit mad trying to read the cryptic texts you pop into your work, i really would love to know what that book is….hmmm.. anyways, i love how her face is just a bit off, like motion is implied either by moving or by a time shift, so maybe that is where the steering wheel comes in, like a time machine :) the brain in the upper left is interesting. i like the shroud-type of feel as if we’re looking thru time and space. can you do bad art???!!!! lol

ahh i see the fetus now ! haha ….

I found that right off.

...you’d think I’d remember someone like her!
A very thought-provoking image, Thomas.
Well done!

A very strong & powerful image, the brain, the fetus, maybe an eye on her chest, but maybe a keyhole, & the DNA energy she is filtering through her open palm, wonder who she is going to re create

love the post work….very nice

they don’t like the way good, little catholic girls behave here Thomas… so much for my temporary, meteoric rise to fame. :-) thanks for your encouragement and… erm… yeah… and that too.

ciao

now

i have no words… this is amazing beautiful!

Oh… but I am still waiting on the “big one”. I want to see if I can find it.

Powerful

Your work is like a box of the most delicious chocolates – thematic but with a wonderful suprise at the centre of each piece – you keep my visual tastebuds well satisfied – thankyou (-:

Awesome image!

yur work is absolutely stunning…ive only just begun using this “digital treatment” i guess is wot i’d call it…and im enjoying it actually…never thought i would. yur work inspires me to improve until im satsified. adequtely enuff to say, ” ya, i like it, i really like it!”

So many details/textures/layers, I’m on overload, but I like it! There’s a light to the figure, and I love the spiral of DNA and the knowing look in her eyes.

Another Beauty from the great Master!

wow! where have I been? Wish had found your pieces earlier….how inspiring and mysteriously beautiful

Disturbing image, you are such a deep and complex person…Thank you for sharing here your talant.

Beautifully symbolic and full of mystery.

Brilliant work

Couldn’t agree more witht he ancestral link..we are bound through space and time to much more than we can imagine…this is a powerful image…

Your work is so emotional and moving. Not simply the images, but the entire feel of the pieces draw you in. This is one of my particular favourites of yours.
Very sensual.
I know it sounds cliche’ but, have you ever shot in Savannah? It’s a very etheric kind of place, and I think it would meld so well with your very haunting style.

Fantastic, love this sparkling light, and of course, the idea and theme you’ve described.

Mystery and Beauty.

amazing

brilliant works!

Stunning gallery mate, love your work!!

Most beautiful work!

Your work is very beautiful! I am amazed how you work digital photography! It is truly mysterious… Thanks!

great imagery and workmanship:>))

Wonderful ART !!! and I agree with your thoughts totally !

Wonderful piece I see hurt and a sprituality without the dogma and abuse from worldy churches,
Dissapointment so needing the true empowerment of the positive energies at work in the universe

Fantastic image…your work is wonderful! :0)

I absolutely love this image. It feels so “other-worldly”. I’ve come back to it repeatedly. It drew me to look through all of your mythology art here, and I only wish you had created an image of Hekate. How might I request that?

Superb.

Fantastic work, great expression you’ve succeeded… congratulations and spirit on your work! ;-)

there has indeed got to be something but i gave up on organized religion long ago , the Dali Lama is my closest at the moment , u know i see a grey face well half a face on our right side of her breast so i see what Butchart means lol this is devine…......

captivating!
