This series of paintings attempts to depict a person's life from birth to death. The dark orb
represent the emergence of  an existence while white is the transition through death back to the
"Is."  Time or experience in between is filled with growing awareness, discovery, revelation and
accumulation of knowledge, represented by the move from black across the spectrum to
white...the culmination of the visible wavelengths of energy. The bright points and color bars are
moments when understanding occurs.

The mind is at birth a clean sheet, a tabula rasa; and sense-experience
writes upon it in a thousand ways, until sensation begets memory and
memory begets ideas -- John Locke (1632-1704)
