Description:

Ki and Enki Rest After Their Labors This painting was inspired by a Sumerian creation myths dating earlier than 5000 BCE, and depicts the god Enki, often associated with the stag, and Lady Ki, the earth. Together this divine pair created what historians refer to as the Fertile Crescent, a place now known as Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey. Below is a brief explanation of this painting, written as if spoken by master magician Enki, patron god of artisans, also known as Sweet Water. “From the very beginning, when my beloved and I first arrived at this place, we saw possibility. Creatrix and creator, together we fashioned clay prototypes for all manner of living beings. I assisting, Ki birthed our plant children and the world became a living tapestry. I then bathed her weary body with fresh flowing waters and on a whim, to see her smile, filled these with dancing fish. My Lady Ki: fertility itself, wherever she steps there springs forth abundance! We two, the Great Stag and Mother of Earth, populated the earth with all that runs and flies. Ki’s supple energy is replicated in all green and fecund things, and to this day everywhere I look, I see her face.”
