NINE HERBS CHARM
In this painting I look back to the past, where we find ancient medical wisdom. Ancient doctors cured illness both by natural herbs and shamanistic techniques. Here the god Woden fights a shamanistic battle with a personification of disease, cutting the disease demon into tiny pieces. The style is largely from Sutton-Hoo, an ancient Anglo-Saxon burial site. James Geary 2003, acrylic on canvas.

SKY EARTH AND SPRING
Here I have combined two of the most important myths, that of the night chasing the day and spring rising after the winter. I have involved a mixture of motifs to emphasise the international nature of the myths. James Geary 2003, acrylic on canvas.

THE RUIN
Interlace designs are an important feature of North European art. Here I use it at a symbol of destiny, Fate weaves our future and allows it to unravel at will. James Geary 2003, acrylic on canvas.
