Earth elemental, faerie, this green man image is verdantly lost in the music of creation.

Artist Notes

This image began as a frottage, a coaxing of a presence from random smears of color on canvas.

His face came first, then his hands, enveloped in streams and currents and forks of flowing earth-shaping.

To me he looks like a musician enrapt, an earth elemental transmitting forces interlayered like music--jazzed, playing a fugue, entering a fugue state.
