Regeneration (Renewed Life)
An artwork can have many meanings… it can evoke different thoughts, ideas and feelings.
There is the hidden layer known only to the artist, there is the published description, then there is the interpretation applied by the viewer.
This piece is a special commissioned work titled: Regeneration.
The background depicts country, history, heritage. The middle is all about rebirth, renewal and the continuation of life and what is important… this work allows you to apply your own meaning, and embrace what the work means for you…
