Brenda Ferrimani Dream Art

This work was inspired by a dream which I feel describes the creative process. In the dream I held a silver tool in my hand, like a protractor, and as I completed the circles new worlds would appear. My son saw me doing this amazing thing and he said, "Mom, that's cool! Can I use the tool?" He took the tool from my hand and left in his car. The creative process always starts in the imagination and with the feminine side, then when it's ready to be made, the idea is given physical expression by the masculine side. Inspiration descends the four planes of expression, the spiritual, the mental, the emotional and finally the physical; which are represented in the painting by the four planets, as four distinct symbols.
