I wonder what I would have made of them if I hadn't known they were migraines? Does science throw a bucket of water on mystery?

I was apprenticing in his studio when he got that assignment, actually. You can find the album with the artwork on Amazon. The frame around her head is painted as a <I>trompe l'oeil</I>. The weird geometric thing rising from the book is a mathematically-designed shape derived from her musical notations.<BR/><BR/>I love the first piece posted here, and it kind of makes you wonder if the rays coming out of her head and eyes are the migraines or the visions... or both?!Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09189372586918106258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341967932815075836.post-8026321129477417912008-06-11T10:37:00.000-04:002008-06-11T10:37:00.000-04:00Did she paint any of her own visions?
