ARTWORK INSPIRATION:
The Ladder painting series is based on the idea that we are climbing to our most virtuous self. The rope ladder is made of real rope and wood and sits on the front of the painting to represent the falls and struggles that we face to achieve our individual state of virtue. Ladder painting number 298 has feathers painted into it to represent that while we may slip and fall during our climb to virtue, we must do our best to float to the surface and start back on our ascent.
"Virtue does not come from wealth, but. . . wealth and every other good thing which men have. . . comes from virtue. "
–Socrates
