The title
of "The Great Round" series refers
to the archetypal Uroboros, and the Omphalos or World Navel.
These works are about experiencing life as being non-linear.
In these paintings, black holes or wounds are transformed
into cosmic wombs, wells, or wheels of creation. Such elemental
symbols deal with unlocking and releasing the flow of life
that continuously animates the world. For me, the act of
painting is a similar, albeit personal, act. With paint,
I explore some archetypal symbols expressing nature's regenerative
and transformational processes, such as seeds, pods, and
eggs, in a personal search for transformation and wisdom
Brushy
underwater images that look like interiors of hearts, ocean
currents, or aquariums in the sea are painted in a frame
within a frame format. They relate to Geographical Philosophy,
where what is inside becomes outside, and what is outside
becomes inside. Quirky landscapes where mountains look like
leaping lizards or dolphins convey a primitivism that goes
back to African art and folk-art.
Art dealer
Richard Ruchala states that “Drummond does with circles
and curves what Mondrian did with lines and angles.”
These images
were created in New York, Vieques, and New Mexico.
