Description Acrylic on canvas, 19' x 38', September, 2007.
The triptych developed over four months along with my plans for my trilogy of novels: Postsingular, Hylozoic, and Transfinite.
Ive always been fascinated by the fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk. Its a powerful, archetypal notion: a seed that grows a beanstalk that you can climb to heaven. Given that I plan to write about actually infinite levels of the universe, an endless beanstalk seems like a good way to get there.
I got the composition for this panel from The Ascent of the Blessed, which is a panel in a lesser-known Bosch triptych, depicting souls flying up to a circular disk of white light.
You can see Jayjay, Thuy, and Duxie the Hrull way up at the top. And one of the subbies at the bottom is waving good-bye. After painting this picture, I knew what to put into the last chapter of my novel Hylozoic. My characters have to fly up an endless beanstalk that they find growing out of the subdimensions. And then I'll move on to Transfinite.
