Searles traveled to Nigeria and Ghana in the early 1970s and the experience was transformative. He described feeling a unique sense of community and belonging there. The shapes, patterns, and colors of Three Spirit Forms are inspired by the African art he encountered. Ovoid, eye-shaped forms represent the interconnected souls of the three spirit-entities he depicts.
