Delphine in an English Garden, or, An Allegory of the Soul's Longing for Paradise

51" x 59"

2009

Delphine is my partner Yolanda's favorite stuffed animal. Delphine is standing on the fabric "In an English Garden", which Yolanda designed.

Contemplation reveals a further, deeper meaning. The lamb is a symbol of an innocent soul. She is looking at Paradise, and longing to enter. Is it a place she can enter, or an evanescent fantasy? If she enters, will it still be Paradise?
