Rainbow Painting Resolves... New Years Eve 2009
M
This piece also contains or explores other hope symbolism and mythology, Pandora's Box, the Holy Grail, the mirror, the star, the Southern Cross - the compass and navigation...
01 /01 /10 It's not surprising... I find John Trudell same day I finished this pic
Maiia: The Pandora bits mucked up the design - I painted the box and the evils fly out and Hope the star remains... but it never resolved as a visual narrative even after 7 years of work...
Trudell says - its cause it was 'a box of evils' -not a box of Evils - plus Hope (Right) - I had the earth in the centre, but blue - which although it was logical -didnt work, it needed the green centre. The movement of nature, ecology and the heart. So while this is also an early work - it meets up with the other later Green work... - Greenman, Green Woman, Green Youth; Green Knight, Green Dragon Greenham Common Women Green Joke Green-Washing more Green Stuff....
The star of hope is represented by the four large blue, four-petaled flowers and the whole Pandora story with a blue centre just won't tie in with the rainbow.
So the star of Hope becomes a symbol of navigation - our moral and spiritual compass. Getting directions, knowing where we are. Our identity, and getting things sorted not by hope but by action.
All that remains of the box is a messy line and of the evils messy flowers that dont work -lol

Interesting as I learn colour theory and symbolism, yellow relates to action, courage and strength - and it so ties, if we take the green energy, honour our hearts desire as our basis, our foundation and then carry on up the chakras - the violet of divine wisdom would be on our hearts and our crown chakra would be yellow with our will power - the Divine or Universal Will Power!
