Note: Our thanks to Richard Selesnick for confirming the attribution of this work. The artist also provided the following information about the work: "I believe the text on the frame says ‘gemini rising, hebrides’ in German (meaning the Outer Hebrides archipelago). We did semi-panoramic paintings like this one in the style of Renaissance frescoes before moving on to panoramic photographs set in similar marshy landscapes. The objects are surrealistic re-imaginings of archeological objects dug up in Scotland around stone circles, brochs, and other prehistoric monuments."
