I started this painting in 2005. Then I promptly forgot about it. Eight years later I finally finished it. Thus, it took 8 full years to bring this painting to completion.
Venus traces out a perfect 5-fold phi (golden ratio) flower around Earth every 8 years! The central portion of the geometry in this painting (the red and yellow flower) is a representation of the dance of Venus around Earth. If you brought the elliptical orbit of Venus around Earth (or Earth around Venus) and brought it into a circle, this is what its orbit would actually look like. It takes 8 years to bring this beautiful cosmic geometry to completion.
I had no idea at the time I was painting this that my process was mirroring the dance of Earth and Venus – the bringer of love.
Incidentally, the year I began this painting I met my husband (and true love). Five years later we were married. Three years after our marriage I finished this painting. 3, 5 and 8 are all Fibonacci numbers with golden ratios between them.
This painting also represents the extremes of Nature and human civilization and the geometry that binds them together as One.
