“One never reaches home,’ she said. ‘But where paths that have an affinity for each other intersect, the whole world looks like home, for a time.”
-Hermann Hesse, Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair’s Youth
The painting at the top, Home in Sight, is a new small piece that is headed to the West End Gallery for their annual Little Gems show which opens in February. The words above are from a Hermann Hesse book that holds a special place in my heart, a book that served a very important purpose for me when I was struggling at my lowest point.
It helped me find my way home.
Often, when I employ the concept of home in my work, that book comes to mind. And I am always so grateful then for what it did for me then. And now because without it there may well not have been a now.
And that’s sort of what I see in this little gem.
Let’s leave it at that today.
Have a good day wherever your home may be.
