Epiphany

Have almost reached a point of "this can be left for now -" with my "Epiphany " painting, which takes Klimt's Mother & Child and places them as "Mary" protecting the Child from the intrusions of the "Magi" and their incomprehensible gifts.  It is maybe a dream, a vision, a flashback.

Whatever, the Magi are creepy.  They make life complicated, by bringing this saviour thing into the equation, and they cause problems for everyone else.  Maybe they represent people who want to make faith into organised religion with doctrines, hierarchies, musts and shoulds.

Maybe they are just the kinds of people you don't want to have visit.  Or bureaucracy.
