Four recent pieces I haven't had the time to post yet:
Finished this one last night- called it "Montezoomzoom". For some undefinable reason I pictured a sort of royal palanquin carrying the earthly incarnation of Sol Invictus. I'm not sure how that idea led to this final image, but therya go.
Finished this one minutes ago- the title is "ι£η" (kite) because the shapes are kite-like, and the movement has a windy feel to it. Also, my pieces like this one with these particular shapes are always partially inspired by a mural in my hometown that I remember fondly from my childhood.
This one is called "Furtive Glances"- it came together as building materials coalesce into two suspicious entities shooting glances over their 'shoulders' at the viewer. They don't care for flesh creatures and they communicate that feeling even without a face or identifiable body parts.
You could blame the corporate interests that made exploitation of Appalachians more profitable than helping them. You could blame the corporate lobbyists that bought all our politicians, D&R. But I guess you'd rather blame the victims of regional capitalist exploitation instead. Why?
Just finished this one last night- titled "Red Whisker, Green Paw"- this piece was created with an ambiguous thought process, with many partial ideas swimming by throughout. One of which though, was how our house animals will hurry to the door to meet us when we get home from work.
Ibrahim El-Salahi, The Mosque, 1964
This one is called "Thrax Capers" and it's one of my favorites. Created while pondering strange and unusual life forms hiding away in their secret homes unknown to us. Also pondering mimicry and protective or warning colorations in Terran fauna.
Most recent completed piece, titled "Comfort Pouch"- tried to convey the sensation of being cradled like a baby- nested in a marsupial's pouch or a seahorse's belly. A place where a fully grown animal can reminisce about the time before knowledge of pain, cruelty, stress, and sickness.
I forgot to mention the title: "Face Grandview"
A recently completed piece- I tried to visualize the idea of inner complexity below a simple surface. Tried to represent the knowledge that every person you know carries an entire world around within themselves. The mechanical and intuitive operations- the combination of experiences accumulated.
Recently finished this piece titled "Bell's Tine" which, to me, expresses the wordless sensation of brassy sounds reverberating in synesthetic fractures- when sounds reflect from a great deal of varied surfaces, each reflection births a different color.
Oligarchy isn't the right word. The right word is Plutarchy.
