Egyptian art (1400 to 1200 BC)
my face as i walked
through the labyrinth at
the *Surréalisme* exhibition
at Pompidou yesterday, and
tasted the myriad flavors of our
collective unconscious...

tickled to join
the stellar lineup of
contributing artists to the
'Mots' series launched by @tocame

i had to choose just one word!
contenders included:
ENIGMA
ICONOCLAST
& ECLIPSE

i finally went with SYMBOL—
so much to say about this Greek word!

i hope i captured some
of its ineffable mystery in
this old school physical collage!

from 'The Tale Of Genji'
interpreted by Yoshitaka Amano,
contemporary Japanese visual artist

Written by the novelist, poet, and court lady Murasaki Shikibu at the height of the Heian period, around the early 11th century, the erotically charged work portrays the lifestyles of the Japanese aristocracy during this era. 'The Tale of Genji' focuses on the life of Hikaru Genji, the son of Emperor Kiritsubo, and a low-ranking concubine.

(detail)

Teeming with painted illusions, this mirrors Shakespeare's playful mise en abyme. Art like life, is a stage within a stage...
