Included in my one-man exhibition "Emanation", 'Keter' is the last in the Sephirot series. This is a large painting and always one who struggles mightily to resolve a work, I found no struggle here with the central orb in this work and completed it (without any later urge to make changes) in a single day. Not true, however, for the landscape portals on either side which proved almost to be the death of me - these had to be exactly right so as to maintain the balance and complete the supreme sense of realness this work projects. We cannot portray the face of God because God is infinite, but we can attempt to convey each of God's 10 emanations - the Sephirot. Keter is the crown and sits at the top of the Tree of Life. I see it as akin to the crown chakra achieved through meditation as well as Moses' encounter with the Burning Bush.

In ancient Judaic mysticism, the Sephirot (or Quabbalistic Spheres) are the ten attributes or emanations surrounding the Infinite and by means of which it relates to the finite. The 'Eye of God' (Oculus from Latin 'eye'; pl: oculi) is a circular opening in the center of a dome or in a wall. Originating in antiquity, it is a feature of Byzantine and neoclassical architecture. I begin each work by constructing a linear geometry and only when satisfied with the composition will I introduce color. I consider geometry to be sacred but recognize that it is a form of mathematics and must be consciously constructed. Once resolved, it becomes a facade for the light which defines the act of painting. Color is Light and is divinely inspired - after 60 years of painting my vocabulary of sensory experiences is extensive enough so that every application of new color demands a response which seems predetermined. Working in a forgiving medium (acrylic paint) allows me to constantly change color, layer over layer until I achieve an inevitable balance and the light in the work is as it must be.
