Latest Artwork: Origins

My latest  artwork is based off the orphic egg / cosmic egg / world egg creation myths. In these mythologies, adopted by various cultures in various forms, the universe was created out of an egg. Out of the egg was birthed the creator god, who formed the world and the various other gods and goddesses. In some of the stories the egg is from a bird, while in other tales, the egg is associated with a serpent. I decided to create my piece "Origins" with a female principle / mother bird and a male principle / father snake. The egg is being birthed by the bird and inside is the circle representing the universe. 

I may try to get a better photo tomorrow as these photos are a little dark. I'll repost the updated photo here when I do.
