The Cosmic Keyhole

Howard Rheingold

Shadows of Forgotten Dimensions Several themes seem to have emerged, apparently without premeditation, from my paintings of the past 10 years. Kokopelli, corn plants, morning-glory vines, star-filled keyholes, comets, saturns, snakes shaped like infinity. Most of this accretion of icons ends up painted on my shoes or crystallized in Fimo. This keyhole turned out to be a sketch for a more ambitious enterprise, the dimensional doorway (182K), at http://www.rheingold.com/art/door.html
