'The Dark Star' ; the embryonic, internal seed of destruction to be unleashed upon world which cannot contain it. Like the atomic bomb and its infinitesimal burgeoning energy which envelopes all which encircle it and the abyss longing to escape. As with most visions and works, an idealized self portrait.
The star amalgamation which comprises the eye of the fetus is an actual galaxy aptly in context named Omega Centauri, and is paralleled in my subsequent work, Albatross.
INSPIRATION & REFERENTIAL IMAGERY :
'The Hanged Man'. Tarot reinterpretation notebook sketch by Roberto Matta, 1942, who intuited the fetus "hanging" within the mother's womb.
