Sound(Word) As Part Of The Process........Also(Word) As Contrast Through Juxtaposition(Meanings?).......And, As Image(Placement).....Also The Possibility Of Word(Without Meaning--Whatever That Is) As Distinct Sound With The Further Possibility Of Creating "Time" Through Sound......Dimensional Stuff..........Stuff Of Dimension........Things To Do Today.......Tomorrow Too

p3144376.jpg- World Without Art
Recent Study - 2011-3

Things For "What Else They Are"...........The Old "Why Is The Sky Blue?" Question..............Technically Easy Stuff Now...........Wavelengths, Scattering Effects, Etc............But From My "More Important" Point Of View....................The Evolution Of Our "Way Of Seeing"...........The Development Of Our Rods And Cones To View, Thus Perceive, The World In a Particular Way.............There Simply Are So Many Other Ways To See, Perceive, View, The World..............We Have Been Held(Still Are) Captive By Finite Vision As Dictated(Previously Necessary) By Environment........For The Species To Progress, Evolve, It Must Expand Its' Horizons Beyond The Limited Spectrum(Real And Unreal)............It Must View Things For "What Else They Are"...................Presently(Unfortunately) The Question May Well Be "Why Is The Computer Screen Blue?"

At The Edge Of The Vortex...............Viewed At The Periphery.............As...........Out Of The Corner Of the Eye.................That Ephemeral Glimpse...................That Singular Ecstatic Moment...................Before Falling To The Gravity Of The Ultimate Experience

Resonance………………Ate………….Ant…………………….What A Wonderful Word………….Relationships And Echoes And Yes, Vibrations And Exclamations of Eloquence……………..If There Is A "Theme" To This Month’s Work, That Is It………Resonance Between Objects And Forms And Colors And Yes, Words Even…..Simple Imagery…………..Some Of It Even "Geometric"(Which Is As It Should Be Often, For Much Of It Is Music-Math)……….And All Of It Direct From The Source………It Really Shouldn’t Amaze Me When I See The Results And The Ever Changing Thoughts From My Constant Dialogues With Nature…………So Utterly Simple………As Simple As A Fine Life Itself………Yes, Resonance……………..I As A Single Element Of Many Paddling Through A Flooded Swamp Of Ethereal Richness, Resonating, Vibrating To The Music Of A Very Natural Flow………..

DoDa

Word Continues To Find Its’ Way Into Several Of The Pieces...........…So Many Levels…..….And Certainly No Single "Meaning"………….…Do Enjoy The Many Contrast Brought Forth Between Word And Object Or Even Color For That Matter………Also Word "Placement" As Object Or Element Within The Piece……..And, Possibly Most Important, Word As "Sound"…………(In Fact Some Of the Words Are Not Words At All—But That’s Another Story)………Very Interested In Bringing The Element(Indeed The Dimension Itself) Of Sound Into The Picture…………..And Words Do Exactly That—Create "Sounds" Within The Mind…………………...Obviously, Another Form Of Resonance…………Mind To Plane

DoDa

Getting Ever Closer To The Purity Of That Elegant Single Line……..Still Reducing……Still Assuming A "Less Is More" Approach…………Often Very Difficult To Do So….Sometimes Difficult To Grasp The Fact That All The Information In The World Can Be In A Single Point…….Sometimes My Own "Human-ness" Gets In the Way

DoDa

So Many "Gifts" Ahead With The Approach Of Spring………(In My Part Of The World Anyway)………………..Emergence………….Birth…………Rebirth……….Color and New Form(s)……..That Touch Of Light On An Emerging Leaf………Mist As Well ……Gathering Dew………….Sustenance……………Sounds And Echoes In The Swamp…….Forest…….At The Shore………..Visions And Images And Forms And Forces And The Many Wonders Of The Silence Of The Unseen………..The Unknown………Such A Richness To It All……..Such A Polite Fineness……………Proclaimed……………By No Reason………..Other Than Itself
