| After painting Hierogamus, it seemed important to paint the drum. To explore and maybe come to understand what was calling to me. The ankh is the Egyptian symbol for life and very close to the female symbol for Venus and female. The ankh symbol also means mirror - a pun that the Egyptian hieroglyphics are so full of. I look deep into myself and stand as a woman next to the drumming male. Recently (2006) Tom has taken to using Qi as a moniker. It’s the modern Chinese spelling for Chi, the study of which is a key has been a key to understanding his own soul. Does the snake tie us together? Mysteries continue to abound. | |||
