The Mystery of Mary Magdalene

 

Agape? Eros? Eros transcendent into Agape? The erotic? The celibate? The repentant?

 

These photographs intuitively point at an erotic that is transcended by more than the erotic. An expanded erotic no longer Eros but Eros transcendent. They contain no revelation nor do they match the canon. They are ultimately an expression of my male sensibility. So, they are a male reflection of a woman and represent the limited male understanding of the feminine.

 

Mary Magdalene the focal point for the artist's understanding of the yin.

 

Mary of Magdala forever re-interpreted to match that flawed understanding.

 

Understanding that becomes the circle that surrounds the yang and yin as they move endlessly against each other.
