Inspired by the amazing ability that children have of being able to lose themselves in play.  Also as a reference to any place that is conducive to uninterrupted or significant thought.

Inspired by a work for guitar by the Spanish composer Isaac Albeniz.

The eye is that of the inspirational source of the work.  The view is both that of her and  of Lynch, the source of the corporeal work in question.

Inspired by the life paintings live after they leave the artist;  some fond wish for a sort of immortality.

Inspired by a poem, "Time".

From a character in literature.  The calligraphy reads, "the life of a libertine", and "feed the monster".

An exploration in a classical setting of the idea that knowledge in itself cannot be given moral quality.  Further, a question into some hypothetical, pantheistic society in which all knowledge of the workings of nature is seen as divine;  a belief that nature is the embodiment of a supreme deity and that any understanding of nature gives rise to transcendent insight

Drawn from personal experience as a Roman Catholic altar boy.  A comparison between the mystery of transubstantiation and the mystery that exists all around us in the physical world.  Biblical references are compared with scientific ones;  worlds without end in terms of creation and cosmology, fishers of men and the medium of the spirit versus the medium of space-time, etc.

Based on a rejection of material things. 

A metaphor for the mind and perception.  Interior and exterior have no actual boundaries, and the light which hangs from the inside lights the outside.  The space inside the walls is meant to represent the subconscious whose inner depths are hidden even from the interior.  Holes, as time, extend from the interior to the exterior with no apparent change; perceived time versus 'real' time (relativity).
