Hi Jo,  Stunning as usual for your figure groups, as it is the Season, it's the Holy Family.

Well done the cover picture of Revolutions.

Cheers      David

Hi all,
some hints. What is "Bogopepl" ? That's no bowl or box. no goblet, no pen and no platter.
Have a look on the right figure. He is standing more ahead and higher, is presenting a bar as a symbol of a weapon, is thrusting
oneself in the foreground, is aggressive. The left one is standing more in the background, mor seclusive, something protecting what is
in the ball (symbol of soul).
I hope you can follow a little bit my thoughts, especially my English translation -sorry for that.
Cheers Jo

Jo,

I'm glad you've explained the masculine figure.

I saw it the same way as a authoritative shape holding a weapon of some sort. And was therefore having trouble fitting it into the Christmas theme.

I also saw the feminine figure as being protective of something, we don't see the shape the same way as you do but can appreciate the symbolic concept.

Truthfully I also saw them differently as well. To me they could also be seen as a closed fist with the middle finger raised in (to us) the symbol of 'The Finger' (quite rude meaning) made into the two figures, especially the male weapon holding one.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!
