Description
Sometimes when we describe we use conflicting words. The sounds that inspired this painting sounded like clanging birds. The red terracotta background highlights the shapes or abstract figures. A narrative might be imagined to explain the elements. I suppose a deep muddy influence and reminiscences from the famous Zenga painting “Blind men crossing a bridge” by Hakuin Ekaku.
