Christensen Balancing Act ART PRINT

Like the Burden of Responsible Man, this is a very autobiographical piece. I just didn't know how I could balance another thing in my life, and then bingo, this idea came into my head. Life is a balance between fun and work, spiritual qualities, education, nutrition... our lives are continuous balancing acts. Of course, some of us make it a little more complex by putting our only balancing foot on the back of a moving turtle. Why are there three clocks in the image? Because we're always balancing time.

There are many specific symbols in the image. Most of them are far from obscure, but the neat little secrets include a king statue to symbolize the omnipresence of politics and government. The skull is a spring hare skull with a little label that reads 'spring hare - lost race.' It's a joke, but it also symbolizes mortality. The owl and the pussycat represent marriage, which is also a major balancing act. The latin in the image means 'equilibrium (balance) is to be desired.' In other words, as long as you remain upright, you're okay.

There are just a few things, but everything here means something. What do they mean to you?  We are pleased to offer Balancing Act    by James Christensen.  We are offering this signed numbered limited edition print at a very reasonable price. Good Luck!
