When looking at my work the viewer shoulder consider them as configurations of spiritual geography. In this manner I refer to them as, “Interior/Exterior Landscapes.
The primary blue shape will refer to geological forms found in the geographical landscape. As such they mark and delineate borders much like a rock cairn would. This marking indicates a place of spiritual solace and a point of reflection.
