AFTER THE SHAMAN OF TROIS FRERES

"After The Shaman of Trois Freres" (7-23-09 4124v3) was morphed yesterday out of the same original photo from which I fussed yesterday's pic "Ganesh Emergent." But it's shapes too strongly put me in mind of the cave painting of the title to be used for a post on Ganesh (the elephant headed Hindu deity). This titular Shaman is a combo of human and animal attributes and, as I said of Ganesh yesterday, such an image can represent a link to our unconscious. In dream interpretation animals are often said to be guides to/from our less conscious selves. And a figure with both human and animal attributes would seem to indicate ready passage between both worlds, a mediator.
