Sabina’s Bowler
illustration 2015 by jpbohannon
The bowler hat was a motif in the musical composition that was Sabina’s life. It returned again and again, each time with a different meaning, and all the meanings flowed through the bowler hat like water through a riverbed. … each time the same object would give rise to a new meaning, though all former meanings would resonate (like an echo, like a parade of echoes) together with the new one.

I keep coming back to look at this. I love how you’ve painted it.
Thanks, Gerry. I don’t know if you know the book (or the movie), but I keep going back to it every few years or so.
