Renée P. Foulks, In the Garden: Left Panel, Oil on Linen, 68” x 54”

“The symbol awakens intimations speech can only explain. The symbol plucks all the strings of the human spirit at once; speech is compelled to take up a single thought at a time. The symbol strikes its roots in the most secret depths of the soul; language skims over the surfaces of understanding like a soft breeze. The symbol aims inward; language outward.” - J. J. Bachofen

Fascinated by epic stories, I examine rituals and belief systems and attempt to address ideas regarding birth, death and resurrection. It is my hope that interweaving elementary and ethnic ideas and symbolic language will offer a variety of interpretations and meditations.
