The labyrinth was a maze created by the brilliant engineer Daedalus for King Minos to hold prisoners from ever escaping. The Minotaur resided deep within it’s depths, later to be slain by the hero Theseus. Of course Daedalus himself later became a captive to his own creation. Since even he could not find a way to escape from his own construction, he devised wings of wax and feathers and string, and, along with his son, Icharus, flew from the confines of the labyrinth. Icharus, not heeding his father’s warning, flew on too high toward the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt; and he fell to the earth, and his death. / The labyrinth has been observed in many cultures to be a metaphor of the depths of the human psyche. From the ideas of old Greece to medieval cathedrals to the modern ideas of the psychoanylist Carl Jung, the labyrinthean depths of our own minds may very well be of the very highest construction and capability, as well as our greatest obstacle toward true enlightenment and freedom. / Original work was created using watercolor and gouache media on Arches cold-press 180lb. cotton rag.

/ wrote this beautiful poem: / / When your day is dark / and your path is all broken / I want to gather up your pieces / and build a dream for you / unfold your hurt, undo the creases When your shoulders are heavy / with tomorrows you can’t seem to find / I want to show you the sky / so that hope could encase you / and give you wings to fly When all direction is lost / and the road disolves in mist / I will search and find a way / to bring you gently back home / to a place where you may lay… in peace

The walk to get here is pretty tough, it’s 1.5 hours to get to the Labyrinth and it’s mosty about 45 degree climbing in some parts steeper and when raining hard makes for little fun. I waited for about 20 mins for the rain to stop and the cloud pass to show the Mountain, when it did i got this shot off, then a nasty front came straight over and heavy rain forced me to leave. So 3 hours walking for one shot. The Labyrinth is spectacular, but very easy to get lost, someone came in here a year ago and was never seen again, as always such places need to be respected for the danger that is always apparent. Anyone planning on a trip to the mountains in Tas even in Summer should know that weather can change in a second and you can be caught in a snow storm. But it is such a magic place and should be seen by anyone that loves the outdoors…..and cold!

This image depicts the union of man and woman in an eternal love knot spiralling up out of a pool, within which can be seen the ancient 7 circuit labyrinth that in ancient times, represented the fertility of woman. The image also forms the shape of an arched window giving the impression of a spiritual icon. All of my artworks are created from handmade papers and organic materials from the rainforests of NSW, Australia. In this image, the detail of the actual air ferns and mosses used in the original can be clearly seen.

pastels I always thought it was kind of weird how things tended to get named after Icarus and Daedulas got left out a lot. I mean, he was the guy who built the damned wings, after all. The sea where Icarus fell is even called the Icarian. / Daeduls did some other cool stuff to, though some of it is pretty damned weird. His statues were so lifelike they had to be chained down to stop them from running away. He built the palace of the king Minos, sure yeah, palace architect, that’s cool, but: well Poseidon sent a white bull out of the ocean to show how Minos was entitled to rule Crete. He didn’t want to sacrifice the nice shiny bull, which really pissed Poseidon off, so he cursed Minos’ wife, Pasiphae, to fancy the hell out of the bull. I mean sexually. She wanted some bull lovin’. This led her to get Daedalus to make her a FAKE COW to clime into so she could root the bull. Which she did. / Then she gave birth to the Minotaur. Daedalus built the labyrinth for it to hang out in and they fed it with seven boys and seven girls every year. One might think it would have been vegetarian. Theseus came along and killed it, anyway. / Daedalus and Icarus were imprisoned by Minos (for revealing the secret to the labyrinth, one would think he would be more annoyed at the fake cow thing) and it was then that he built the wings and flew away which we have all wanted to do when stuck at someon’e house who is watching reality tv. I think this line is from Chatterton, an 18thc poet who suicided at 18: “GIVE US WINGS WINGS WINGS! THOUGH WE PLUNGE INTO THE SEA!”

Since greeting cards are officially available on RB, I decided to let one of my favorite babes join the big pool as well. This piece was created based on the idea of fractal, though I didn’t use any fractal softwares to make it. I will write more details on this later on. By the way, if you want a print of mighty big scale (36”x36” to be exact), it’s availabe on my shop.
