// “The Great God Pan” by @lourogersart. Lou was my mother, and I grew up surrounded by the beings she summoned in paint. Many were seven feet tall, or more. Her work possesses power and remoteness that speak to me of longing for something entirely Other. Her visions opened the portal of my own work for me. She died in 2007. Late in the final week of her life, when she was already almost out of reach, I brought her a cup and said, “Here’s some grape juice.” Suddenly she was present. She said, “Does this mean men and women everywhere can be Dionysus?” I thought, ah, you are still there, only wandering in the wild places that are your own, where I cannot follow yet. She loved the tales of Arthur Machen, one of which gave this piece its title. Beautiful Bizarre Guest Curator: @forestrogers ... posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CP1tI0wonRf/
