My German friend suggested the title for this painting - a deep spatial illusion that sets up a world of possibilities. Are we looking at a beautiful sunset or approaching tornado? Is that a lakeside cabin or inadequate shelter from the storm? Does that torus represent a floating pool toy or an inflated life preserver? This image reminds us that Art functions as a portal to another realm, an experience most people know from music or live theater. By breaking the picture plane in both directions, this painting projects into the gallery space while inviting the viewer to enter a portal into an invented world.
