As We Are We Are Not
As We Were We Will Not Be
















july10_23_01.jpg-Current Image-Present Myth
Recent Study - 2014-7

What Is This..............Dissolution?
As Image Dissolves Into Mystery.........Does Too..........Energy?
As Colour Becomes Random And Chaotic, Diminishing In Intensity And Purpose.....Does It Too........Fade..........To The Ethers Of Chance?
As Form Is Lost To Formlessness....By What Mechanism.....Does It Reappear?
As Planes Collide And Crumble To Undifferentiated Mass.............What Fills..................The Absence In The Void?
Dissolution
It Is.............Simply...........Necessary

Stop!
Disregard Everything That Has Come Before
It Is Useless

.................Yes, I Hear That.........But Colour Does Not Exist Unless There Is A Receptor.....Does It?

Are We One Of The Few Species On Earth That Does Not Take Care Of Its' Own?

20110920_29.jpg- Art And Chaos
Recent Studies - 2011-9

...........Yes, But Is the "Emotional" Impact Of A Particular Color The Same As it Was 10-15,000 Years Ago?.............Has That Impact Changed As We Have Evolved?...........Indeed, Has Colour Itself Evolved?.......Or............Quite Possibly.....Maybe Even.......Diminished In Clarity, Content And Impact?

___________
 
Why Do We Not Realize That We Are Doomed By Excess?

.........Yes, Sure.........They Are Destroying Themselves.........Only Useful For A Moment......Whatever Their Reason Is No Longer Reason Any More......Usefulness Spent....Now They Discard Themselves....Recycling....Regenerating ..
.......Re-Emerging............As Something Other

___________
 
Why Do We Seek Affirmation And Relevancy In Designed Myth And Not In Logic, Thought And Idea?

p2013227.jpg- Beyond Colour
Recent Study - 2012-1

........And So, In Is Out..........Or So It Seems...Or Appears......Is Function Lost To Indeterminability? Do Colours Linger........Reflecting.........What Happened Here?..........Or Was That The Course All Along?

Why Are We Engaging In Self-Imposed Genocide By Our Shabby Treatment Of This Earth?

Recent Study - 2014-7

........Concept Met At Inception?......Don't Know.......Would Follow Some Sort Of Inverted Logic.........??????????......Which Preceded The Other?.......Not Sure.....Concurrent?.....Maybe?...Does The Unconscious Follow To Such Logic?.......Or Is It Madness To Assume?......Is It Folley.....To Think.......About The Absurd?.......Gestation Required.......Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear!

Why Are We What We Are?

Recent Study - 2014-5

...........So, If Chaos Is The Norm, Is It?........(Constancy Of Change In Nature)......So, Why Is The Icon Of Stability Such A Sought After Concept?..........Would Appear........That Such.......Is Abnormal...........A Fleeting Aberration Found Often In Arts And Cultures........A Comfort Of Abnormality(Known)..............Yet..........Brief..... (Extinct).......Left In The Wake Of Chaotic Wonder

p6230126.jpg-Crossings - Is, Isn't - Was, Wasn't
Recent Study - 2013-6

.............So It Is A Natural Event This Being Fractured....Blown Asunder..........Unnatural Event Would Be To Keep It Intact, Preventing Its' Logical Growth And Development.........Unnatural Acts Would Seem To Betray The Host Of The Event, Would They Not?

20110920_38.jpg- Beyond Concept
Recent Study - 2011-9

What Is This Illumined Source?
This State....Of Resonance?
This.........Remarkable Event Illuminating The Unseen..........The Unknown?
This............Spark Of Necessity Which Drives All?

Less It Is For The Many

Recent Study - 2012-10

A Colossal Indignity Of Ignorance And Greed Has Beset Our Planet.........Global Environment Is Hurting And "Puppets" Gather To Determine Extent Of Treason..........Of Betrayal............If Not The Planet Itself, Why Do We Allow Our Very Survival To Hinge On The Activities Of The Few?
