‘Loving Error’ (Oil painting on board, by Alan Rayner, 1998).
This painting illustrates the dynamic interplay between differentiation and integration, irregularity ("error") and regularity, and
negative draining and positive outpouring that is embedded in living system boundaries. The erratic fire in the venation of a lobed ivy
leaf is bathed in the integrating embrace of a heart-shaped leaf which converts negative blue and mauve into positive scarlet and
crimson. The midrib of the heart-shaped leaf emerges as a bindweed which communicates between extremes of coldness and dryness.
