Original artwork description:

***Conceptual info***
This piece is a representation of the concept of the Axis Mundi, sometimes called the center of the world or world axis. In various mythologies the Axis Mundi represents the connection between heaven and earth, the higher and lower realms, the microcosm and macrocosm, etc. This piece also has a 26 character color cypher that is painted around the frame, which can be seen in the image of the frame in the photos. The color cypher can then be used to decode a message in the small circles around the vine, which can be seen in the attached conceptual image. It reads "so that every point is center and surface." This piece is framed and ready to hang.


***About***
I have been a professional full time artist since 2004, have showed throughout the US and am in multiple museum collections as well as private collections throughout the world. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me, even if you just want to ask more about what a piece means or about why I create art.

***Framing***
All pieces come framed. I create the frames myself (an example of which is in the pictures). All frames are cut, joined, wood filled, sanded so there is no appearance of joining method and then painted and sealed. Ready to hang with a signature on the back of the actual piece and then one on the back of the paper that covers the frame. Some of the frames have little designs painted on, like the example I included in the pictures. The frames are float frames, meaning the piece appears to float in the frame. No part of the actual painting is covered by the frame, nor touches the frame.

***Shipping***
I use silicone based conservator paper to wrap the painting before packing up. This is a non stick paper, expensive paper, highly useful. I double box the painting, so there is no need for crating. If you do want it crated, let me know and we can work something out. If you have any specific shipping needs please let me know.
