RE: In the Valley of Discovery | LMAC FreeStyle Collage No. 133

One of the distinctions of your collages is the emotional element. The sense of a journey is palpable in the two men at the center of your piece. I'm not sure how you do that, but one thing I notice is the light. Not only is there light in the 'front' of the picture, but even a detail, such as the wanderer's pedestal, has light in front but not the back. I wouldn't have noticed this, except that I was looking for an explanation. The meaning of many symbols (in your work and others) sometimes escapes me, but with a simple thing like light you communicate the idea.

Very skillful, of course, and lovely.

You are absolutely correct @agmoore in reference to the light. It's the dividing line between discoveries. The angel searches for solitude, to escape from the spotlight into the other side. The men search for bright lights and excitement and whatever is beyond the mountain ridge from their daily drudgery. I hope each achieves their desires.

Thanks so much for your visit and insight. Attempting to find hidden meanings behind works is sometimes extremely difficult. I think that's why any form of art is subjective. You get to see and feel what touches your consciousness. And as always, each reader and viewer will experience something difference. I always look for the dark side...what's hidden behind first impressions.

Take are and have a lovely rest of your weekend. I appreciate your support.
