The thread that pulled the mandrake out of the ground was cut by its scream. Three circles were drawn beforehand and wax plugged my ears so that I could exhume it and mix it in a process involving sourdough from which these images were raised. A perilous endeavor to say the least but these vegetal spirits may now live on.





Peter, these are remarkable images! Beautiful, haunting, intriguing… Do you show your work? I think a gallery might be interested.

I love how you weave words into your artistic creations. They add so much, in particular encouraging deeper thought about how they move us as the viewer.
The layers mean in discover a new detail, or two, or three each time I peruse them.
Thank you for sharing. 🙂
