The following graphite drawings are from the book “Sadie Sojourn” 1989.

“Levitational Picnic” is 1 of 5 drawings set into creation after waking from a dream. I recalled images of dolls resting on a floating blanket, leaving the scene of an 11th century wall panel, intricate patterns suggest infinity resting upon  an unknown being, architectural details cluing time periods while human-like figures walk away from locks and Asian influences bridging organic shapes with nature. All activity moves toward a sense of counterbalance and completion.

My question for the observer: Is this personal reflection of a dream state in common question? If struggle with Self is the motivating intention of symbol making, perhaps graphic traceries emerge as gateways for spiritual mandalas.
