Every once in a while I will learn something new or recall something old and then it will start popping up everywhere in a random burst of synchronicity. The current one happens to be triptychs. I'm particularly fascinated by the triptych Erika Moen recently finished, inspired by Coilhouse magazine. It's very "art nouveau" meets "middle ages." Despite the subject being secular in nature, there's still a nice undertone of saintly iconography to allude back to the art form's popular purpose. I wish I were a better artist because I think something like this could make for a fantastic backdrop for my altar, either as multiple incarnations of a particular god/dess or the 3 main deities I choose to honor.
