'Fireflies in Amazonia at Night '....I lived in the Peruvian Amazon between 2012 and 2014, and I spent the majority of 2012 in a jungle hut during my shamanic apprenticeship. Most nights, swarms of fireflies would often surround the hut, illuminating their golden light trails against the darkened outlines of the forest behind them. I sat in complete awe and wonder, observing them for hours on end for many nights on end. For me, it was a very profound and truly wonderful experience. As human beings, we don't live very long in terms of cosmic time, and so I found it very metaphorical to think of each of us as a firefly at night, making our own distinct trails of brilliant yellow light in the darkness of night skies for a brief moment in eternity.
 
I've always admired Lee Krasner's and Jackson Pollock's early work, in which they often employed only two colours to make very dramatic and striking paintings. I was thinking about some of these early works of theirs while creating this painting.
