The inspiration for this piece began with the image of the hand seen below. Originally the idea was going to be something about the hand of God being guided by little hands, with big mouths, blowing up Tinky Winky. In the end I almost gave up doing anything because the hand didn't have the right look. With a deadline fast approaching I opted to turn the hand into a rocky mountain in silhouette, which was combined with an image from istockphoto.com. I painted in the organic beam. I then overlayed another image from my personal collection, a shot of a leaf with water drops to create the planetary-like orbs.
