The Moon
Etching, printed on Johannot 240 gsm

30, AP X 3

This is the nadir of the human condition- the angst, searching and rawness of the human psyche. The positive, creative projection of inner fear is countered by the overactive imagination, the delusional and the hallucinogenic. The moon operates in the realm of the subconscious. The wolf and the dog, representing two aspects - the tamed (intuitive wisdom) and the wild (instinctive, irrational fear), of the human psyche are in conflict.
