Private Worlds
Some
artists work by drawing on their own imaginations, rather than the
observable world, to generate their imagery. Due to the personal nature of
this work, some of its various levels of meaning can remain tantalizingly
beyond viewers’ grasp. But often there are aspects that are universal,
even archetypal, and these draw us in closer to the artist’s inner
world.
