Description

Merging several possible mythic assignments simultaneously into one organic, yet simulated event of two-dimensional proportion; nothing less than the birth [original appearance] of the Feminine Principle carves itself crisply into the matrix of a lino plate.

A virtual syncretism of mythic qualities, usually assigned personas, blend into an otherwise 'untitled', undefined, event. In fact they may be said to 'assimilate', resemble, and be completely understood in terms lacking literary notions, but rather notions set in motion as Feelings and sensations of Inquiry.

Since its arrival, in 1993, I have innocently referred to it as 'Birth of Venus', bypassing the fact that the event clearly emerges from the head of some authority figure; and therefore is reminiscent of Athena! But even that cannot reconcile the happening which gains so much, from all the attention that surrounds the innocence at center.

In modest pose the innocent creature emanates a radiance to all other; and so I assign a blended interpretative reason to the representative, calling it 'The Feminine Principle'.

And as a principle, I associate the most splendid of characteristics to the radiance, noting it as Intuition - which we all know as a most feminine trait, even that a man can enjoy it as well.
