This first artwork in this series remembers a shamanic meditation I experienced back in 2001, in which I was guided into a deep inner world by climbing down a ladder into a misty, occluded landscape of forests, villages and presences which I came to call Beings of Blood. The human figure is surrounded by fire, remembering a theme that has run through my life that "...the brightest path in life is often through the fire..."; this guiding principle is also echoed in the artwork's title.
