Paintings

These enigmatic paintings have as their inspiration a strange, recurring dream the artist experienced over four consecutive nights in Rome in October 1971: “At first I couldn’t understand what was happening to me. I would end [the dream] at a certain point, only to take it up at exactly the same place the following night. But I soon realised I had nothing to fear as I knew I was receiving a message from God instructing me to understand and interpret Her revelation and to present it to humanity in the only way I knew how – through the expression of my art” (1) The difficulty when describing her paintings in this or any of the other series in the collection is that she often gave the same meaning when describing different scenes, and sometimes gave the same scenes different meanings.
