Creating a work of art can be like trying to form an alternative universe, albeit in a small way and with limited materials. It has something to do with the artist’s unfolding consciousness and the attempt to communicate the imagery of the spirit. With luck something worthwhile struggles free. The critic Ludwig Hevesi described Klimt’s work Philosophy as, ‘… a piece of the universe’ and ‘… perpetually flowing life, ceaselessly coagulating into shapes.’ To render pictorially something that reveals itself to the imagination as image without explanation can be intimidating. That’s not to say that creating something isn’t fun, it is, intensely so. But the blank beginning is frightening and the multitude of alternatives also. Once captured the image could have many alternative reasons and explanations for being.
