Artist's Comments

Acrylic on PVC

Thoth{Egyptian god of time,magic,language...} reaching towards the cosmic center. I ment this as an interpretation of the myth of Thoth and Nuit{galaxy goddess} where Ra forbids Nuit from giving birth on any day of the year. Thoth remedies this by changing the 360 day calender to the 365 day calendar and within those five days Nuit's children came forth.
I thought it was an interesting myth becuase it coincides with the way the Mayans discovered accurate calendrics....once they found an accurate center, the cosmic center{Nuits birth canal} all things fell into place.
That far point is the inner-most point, a blackhole, that holds the galaxy together and creates its rhythm.

Great choice of placement/viewpoint. Captures the atmosphere and myth perfectly. I like it a lot.

the trick is a tun of patience and an equal ammount of medium;)

actually this one was watered down with just water but most paintings after it had just lots of transparent gloss or matt layers...go for the gloss you'll like it!

much thanks
