The Play of Life

The aspect of Dante's Divine Comedy I admire the most is its attempt to portray the whole of creation in a way both structured and alive. In my own way I am attempting to do something similiar, only my viewpoint is broader, and I am an artist.
This Western or left-hemisphere half of my visual poem is derived from cantos in Dante's Divine Comedy. I do not illustrate Dante's poem literally, I merely use it as a point of departure.
