Ribbons and ruffles and taffy-like strands of red, white, and pink partake in a celebratory dance with rich dark blue in this festive composition filling all available space on the canvas. Pregnant with a mysterious source of light that seems to come from within the painting, it’s as if the artist has captured a jubilant sliver of soul in a fantastically sweet forest compelled from the fantasy topographies of dreams. Like a carnival fun house hall of mirrors, or an ever-shifting kaleidoscope, this painting draws the eye deeper and deeper into its folds, imparting perpetual joie de vivre. Close investigation into the shadows of this work reveal a dolphin head and a woman’s face with red lipstick tucked within the bombastic tangle of strokes—the innocence and beauty of the unconscious revealed.
