Description
"May transcendence be ours as we gaze up into the vastness of the sky through the canopy of the redwood that carries our aspirations close to the heavens."
© S. Cafarelli Burke Art, 2011
This is a theologically inspired piece. Sacred space of indigenous peoples centers around that fixed point where communication with the divine is believed to take place. That axis point is where the four cardinal directions converge and cross each other. There is also an image (axis mundi) to represent the communication with the divine; for example, a pole or pointer to the heavens that I represent as a redwood tree is my Axis Mundi painting.
