StarWheel High-Reliefs: A New Rendition of the StarWheel Paintings

As this website was nearing completion during December of 2022, the StarWheel paintings were beginning to emerge in a new way. 
Aya has described his discovery:

“When I first used the ‘Bas Relief’ feature of Photoshop, I was stunned: here was a StarWheel design carved out on stone, with the very irregularities and shadows of an ancient artifact just unearthed...

The ‘Bas Relief’ feature is what I now call ‘High-Relief’ as these renditions convey a whole new impression of the StarWheels as repositories of knowledge, known and then lost... un-deciphered and to be rediscovered…

The SW High Reliefs are rendered in a bi-tone: blue top and pink granite bottom.”

One can imagine walking among these “stone carving” renditions, remembering that each StarWheel painting (beginning with Series III) is six feet by six feet.  For a size illustration, see: 

There is a photo of Aya retouching StarWheel 51 — Spiral Goddess — in the Santa Fe, New Mexico sunshine.
