​​Fractals of Grace

​“Murmuration of the Ancestors”
Oil on Panel
​31” x 48”

  This painting uses expressions of an abstracted dove.  I created a bird murmuration with fractals of 7 generations (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64) to symbolize the presence of generations who have gone before. The same dove shape is overlayed 7 times in the seed pods to symbolize release, new beginnings, and an opportunity for contemplation for what I want to take to seed in the generations to come.   The birds flow over, in and through the space in the elusiveness, permeability and yet tangible expressions of relationship and time.
