ARTIST'S DESCRIPTION OF PIECE (continued)

Listed below are a few more links that I noticed during my research into the definition of this drawing.

	I found this illustration on the left while I was searching online for links to DNA. Below is a detail image taken from a previous piece that was completed in 2004 titled Visions of the Enigmatist. Visions was my quest to find the details linked to the DNA of M.C. Escher. DNA Prophecy is the link to my own DNA. The Yin and Yang are the connection of the two images.
Remember the 2 Suns?
The DNA strands that exist in a sperm cell are the absolute beginnings of a life form. According to the scriptures 2 of the first human life forms were Adam and Eve and together they created 2 Sons, Cain and Able. These 2 Suns also relate to the double ring images I used and are a representation of Light. In a previous paragraph I noted that the Golden Number I use is the number 3. This is the most significant numeral that I have found in relation to my life, Christ, the Bible, the realities of the world and it is also a very important part of the Fibonacci sequence. Here is how the numeral 3 relates directly to these Suns. This image, DNA Prophecy, is about the beginning creation of a soul. Genesis is the very beginning chapter of the entire Bible. Verse 3 of Genesis is: “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light”. In verse 4 it says: “And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness”. These 2 Suns as I mentioned relate to Cain and Able. In later verses of Genesis it talks about Cain killing Able representing the first death or non-living DNA. God divided the light from the darkness, so I divided the Suns into 2 separate images, Cain and Able.
The larger sun relates to Cain being the older brother and overpowering to his younger brother Able. The sun of Able is smaller and is in front of Cain because Able is the more recently born brother. To illustrate the separation of the Light (Able) and the Darkness (Cain) I used slightly darker yellow ink to define this representation. The detail on the right is the closest image I can get to show this change in the ink pigments.	Lighter Yellow=Able Darker Yellow=Cain
	“The eyes are the windows of the soul”. I chose the blue and the turquoise colors for this design to match the color of my own eyes and the color of my adopted fathers eyes. His are more turquoise in color while mine are bluer. The representation to the left shows the even correlation between my Dad and myself. We may not share the same DNA but our physical links are very similar. Dad and I really look like we are biological kin. Maybe that is what aided my parents in picking me to be their son.

I have used a representation of planets and stars in virtually all my drawings. These celestial objects are the direct links I associate with the Heavens. Whenever I color a planet with blues and greens and brown’s that is an illustration of the planet Earth. The Earth in this image is placed at the top of the drawing. Notice that the tail spheres of the sperm are what touch the Earth and the organism is moving away from the plant image. This signifies that the organism is leaving the dimensions of the earthly plane and is traveling towards the spiritual or Heavenly body, possibly for a blessing. They always say that birth is a miracle. Well, miracles come from faith in God. Perhaps my DNA at birth was given this type of spiritual guidance and protection. Perhaps that is why I’m creating these images in my lifetime and interpreting their connective relationship directly to my walk with Christ. Questions, Questions, Questions? The final explanation I have for this drawing is a reference to the Big and Little Dippers. These are the 2 groupings of stars that I remember being shown as a very young child, so I placed them in this DNA Prophecy. There are thousands of small stars in this drawing and there are a few larger stars that have the “shining light” added. For the Dippers you will notice some stars that are larger than the small stars and have a very tiny “shining light” surrounding them. If these specific stars are connected, then the Dipper image is formed. The image below shows a close up of these Dipper stars.

The detail images to the left are the stars locations within the drawing and the images to the right contain the rough connecting line illustrations.

So there you have it. I have many more detailed writings and descriptions that will be associated with this piece but they won’t be published until a later time. I just wanted to give you the basic physical definitions to this truly emotional, deeply personal drawing that not only relates to my DNA as Ron Jones, but also the DNA of my only daughter, Ashley. She is my only known DNA link on this planet, which places my soul by default at the very beginning of my DNAtic Family Tree. “In the universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which shamans call intent, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link”. - Carlos Castaneda
