Repetition is a technique that is used often in the arts. Pop artists, such as Andy Warhol, used the repetition technique in his silk-screen paintings. It also indicates realities of continuation as demonstrated throughout nature.
Ketu is a demon in Vedic mythology, along with his brother Rahu. They both represent the North and South nodes of the moon. In my light research of Ketu, I have found images of him represented as headless, and has having a body being consumed by a fish. There are other images of Ketu in which the area where his head would be is surrounded by a sort of hood of snakes heads.
In this image, I saw this characterization of Ketu over off to the right side, and partially on the left side. I had repeated a certain selection from another image in this picture, and therefore put together, piece by piece, what you see here.
I also wanted to explore the notion of probable realities, and how our decisions are selected from a repetitious, but also changing, spectrum of choices. Hindu gods are sometimes represented as having many arms extending from their bodies. This associates the idea of having a hand in many different probabilities as one’s awareness grows in knowledge and maturity.
This image only depicts a fraction of this growth of awareness of probabilities, and the mastery of control of them. Anyway, it was another fun exploration of creation, and amalgamation with a collage/pastel drawing I had made originally for the Wrecked Tangles (After the Crash) series.
