Superstition's ambiguities and irrationality intrigued me - the origins, and why people believe. Our contemporary lives are becoming meaningless, yet superstitions from fortune-telling to astrology fill popular magazines. It is ironic that religions may denigrate superstition, yet superstition helps to prolong the role of religious belief systems in society.
A good friend said, 'There is no plain black and white, just a thousand shades of grey.' Many people wish that the world were simply black and white, however, leading to my use of black and white linoprints.
