THE DANSE MACABRE

Original Oil on Belgian Linen (72" by 36") w/ narrative: 'If the willow could weep, it would dream of cradling a sleeping infant in its Golden Boughs; If the Man in the Moon could laugh, he'd tumble and roll 'round this ship of fools and boldly dream of leaping cows; If the wall could wail, it would dream of scolding those credulous souls who've sacrificed their intellect on the alter of Faith; If Planet Zootopia could speak, she'd tell me from whence we came and where we're going, then dream once more the nightmare of the human wraith; But we are the stuff stars dream of as they sing the music of the spheres and dance the Danse Macabre.' copyright 2008 Patrick Pierson

marvelous again

Artist Reply: My sincere thanks to you, Heloisa, for taking a few moments to comment so generously about my work. Both this piece, Danse Macabre, and No Limits are complex multi-media creations that are sometimes difficult for people to relate to; you have a very good eye indeed to have singled out these two. In 'Danse,' I wonder if you noticed the upside-down 'cow jumping over the moon' just beneath the surface of the water under the totem? Did you also notice that I through everything INCLUDING THE KITCHEN SINK into this piece? -Patrick
