  • TLF 16.09.2009 : "... the theme of the snake (in my painting) was forcast by several extraordinary dreams... The snake entered my awareness of a radical change of conciousness coming my way; its arrival signalled individuation. - I married Patricia Randall en deuxième noces the same year..." [204]

    TLF: "The observation of the snake’s patterns, reaching beyond its contours into the complicated mini-world of its surroundings, translated into pictorial terms meant: the consideration of the entire picture surface, instead of “foreground” and “background” spatial delusions." [205]
