@alexgreycosm Repost: The Great Turn image was featured in Tool’s Fear Inoculum album, both as a painting and animation, released August 2019. Once again I had the good fortune to work with the men of Tool, who shared my art with millions of fans, and the work got to be included in a historic, unique, and extraordinary album. The Great Turn art in the album was a study for the larger painting shown here. I started the full-size painting (8 x 10 feet) in October 2019. In late 2020 the painting was completed, crystallizing intense feelings of falling into darkness and turning towards the Light. The Great Turn is a symbol of the potential for both transformation and disaster. There are three primary compositional elements, the polarized body, the jewel web, and the background tunnel of eyes, symbolizing three levels of our self. Reflecting on the meaning of the image, the Body feels the struggle of the ego caught in the web of the Mind, yet reaches toward the light of Spirit a tunnel of infinite awareness seeing everything. It is possible for us to locate our identity in any of those domains, yet the mystics would say Spirit is our true nature. When Tool started back on tour this year, to finish the Fear Inoculum tour that was interrupted by the Pandemic, they asked to use the finished Great Turn art for a number of posters.
