I see my work with Dante's Divine
Comedy as a universalized expression of a personal exsperience. The
INFERNO is the descent into despair, total withdrawal, a confrontation with
the symbolic figures of the unconscious. These are the darkly grotesque
horrors of Dante's Hell. The arduous ascent through the PURGATORIO is the
cleansing and purifying of the the soul, the healing process. The PARADISO,
the sublime soaring towards the presence of God, is the revelation of one's
full humanity, a rebirth and return to the world. |
