'Behold The River' - The ancient Minoans lived on and around the island of Crete approximately three and a half thousand years ago. They were a highly successful seafaring empire. Their close neighbours on the island of Thera were destroyed by one of the biggest volcanoes in history which would have caused several tsunamis and probably led to the eventual demise of the Minoan culture.
It is, however, their Art that fascinates me. Fluid, free, bold and beautiful. How can a people who lived so long ago have created Art so modern and dynamic? This is my tribute to a truly remarkable people.
