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.

I had started with a pencil drawing on paper then transferred it to aceate. Painted acetate and then Ink jet printed on to coloured paper. I then melted embossing powder for the Southern Cross ( a constellation only found in Australia!) and the moon. It is a night scene in one of my favourite settings – a formal garden with a hedge maze! Prints of this will available at my February 2009 Solo art show. (see my journal for details).

/ 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
