Delphine in an English Garden,

or, An Allegory of the Soul's Longing for Paradise

51" x 59" | 2009

Delphine is my partner Yolanda’s favorite stuffed animal.  Delphine is standing on the fabric “In an English Garden,” which Yolanda designed.

 

Contemplation reveals a further, deeper meaning.  The lamb is a symbol of an innocent soul.  She is looking at Paradise, and longing to enter.  Is it a place she can enter, or an evanescent fantasy?  If she enters, will it still be Paradise?
