steam stones
steam stones are thoughts as heavy as stones, but in the perception of those who want to see things change, they travel by steam propulsion. this series of six works lends itself to an expressive reading, and the composition concentrates the visionary power in even the simplest forms. neither the profile of the young man nor the blue pangaea are therefore the protagonists. the true theme of the painting lies at the heart of its mystery.
