So What?

As part of the narrative: As the flood waters settle Archer is found sitting on a tiny flower covered island.

This print is my answer to William Blakes famous picture Newton. In Blakes print Newton is shown so immersed in his thoughts about science that he fails to appreciate the strange beauty of the moss covered rock on which he rests. Blake's view was that to focus entirely on one was to ignore the spiritual beauty of Gods creation.

Similarly in my print Archer contemplates his thoughts and inner visions whilst ignoring the chaotic beauty of the remaining small part of the natural world he sits on.
