About this painting
The title appeared in the same instant as the concept. A painting about fears, realised or unrealised. Fear, love, danger and the safety of the womb.

The painting is visually complex, with a repeating theme which echoes as do competing thoughts. So this is perhaps an extension of the 'symphonic' painting ideas which began with The Migraine Tree, but extended to a psychological level. In a symphonic painting, a visual theme is used and changed to form a visual structure, and here that structure represents a 'thought instant', and so its manipulation represents a changing thought, an internal dialogue.
