GREGOR AND MANTA
The Manta ray is a dream image for me of great significance.

The Manta ray is a dream image for me of great significance. I wanted to make a sculpture of one for in the garden with its huge wings arched in space. I laminated many layers together, re-enforced with brass screws. However, it does not stand up to the extremes of the weather.  It needs to be inside in spacious surroundings.

 

 

WHAKAREHU    To see a dream      So compelling      So real    I was given a dream     In the dream I had no body   I was somewhere unknown     In total darkness     I don't know how I got there     What I had been doing    Where I was going    I only know I was afraid    Afraid of falling    I yelled   "Help me,  I can't do it by myself"     And immediately I knew the help was coming    A giant Manta was coming    I did not fall so far     I did not fall at alll     I had just one short thought     Where do I hold on?    But there ws no need to worry      The Manta was so large      And I was so small       That I would have gone up     To wherever we were going     Except my own scream woke me up     And I was back in the unreal world
