The Messenger. Feb 2018
This is an art piece I hold near and dear in my collection. It was one of those drawings that had a very early life all of its own and I was along for the ride. It represents a figure running from left to right. He is head down, running with an extended stride. His right leg is forward and his left leg is back. His arms are oddly not in a counter rhythm but are synchronized with his legs (when you are a god you can do these things). I see him as Hermes, messenger for the gods. There are messages of earth (leaves) in front and cosmic wonder (the counter rotating plane forms) behind. When I drew The Messenger his figure was larger than the paper I was using, and I had to cut out paper to extend his legs (he exceeded his earthly bounds). And rather than have the legs incorporated in a larger white frame, I elected to have them be true extensions that go outside the bounds of the original frame. He is after all a figure both inside the bounds of earth and at the same time outside earth within a mythological frame.
