According to mythology; Gaea was a primal Greek goddess, she was one of the deities that governed the universe before the titans. She symbolised the Earth and universe and was the mother of everything, she was also known as "Mother Earth". Whilst "Mother Nature" personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth, Gaea gave birth to the entirety of the universe. In this work, Gaea sits on a tree-of-life and overlooks the Earth and the universe, there are many metaphors in this work surrounding the mythology behind it, for example, the sunflowers representing the deities that were born to Gaea. This large watercolour work is a mix of surrealism and 1960's psychedelia which I am also a huge fan of. The intention being that you could stare into it for hours interpreting all of the many bits of the story.
