Is a counterpoint to the Painting “Tears in the Rain”. A superficial parallel can be drawn between these two paintings in so far as they both consist, primarily, of moss covered stones. In the case of this painting, ornate stonework from the façade of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, disassembled during restoration work, has been re-formed into an almost naturalist composition – A jumble of stones returning, once again, to their natural state. These two paintings however, are also juxtaposed in terms of their mythological and historical content. Reformation itself is also reference to the Church upheaval from the 16th century on. The major centers of this patriarchal institution in Europe, strangely enough, were all dedicated to “Our Lady” – A not-so-veiled acknowledgment, it is believed, of the Goddess, central figure in the spiritual life of an earlier time.   See: “Tears in the Rain”
