On the Job

Got an idea while on the job site the other day. It was a great place to grab some random shots on the old camera and later on "art them up".

This one I call "drop cloth" (in Green), It can be any color you want it to be!

This one is called "Moldings in a Pile"

And this last one is called "Pipes". Are you picking up on the construction theme?

We are surrounded everyday by shapes that can be arranged into patterns or is it we are surrounded by patterns that can be arranged into shapes? Could be one or the other or both? I like taking these random images and then turning them 90 degrees until it creates this pin-wheel effect. This seems to enhance these very simple images or at least make them or the overall presentation more interesting. This is all about "play", my mantra. Make sure you are playing with your world. It is the only real way to unlock its secrets and make sense of your presence in it. You are the art you seek!

My math Guru Doug told me a bout fractals. Tell me the creator of the universe is not having fun playing with the cosmos. Check out this Fractal Zoom video. Warning this will blow your mind!

notion #12

These were once hidden

The roots of a tree up ended

Now exposed

Washed clean of the ground

That held it in place

And gave it life

Formed in the darkness of the earth

A shape created by the movement of growth

And resistance of the soil

It tells a story

Of the struggle to hold on

The need to keep changing direction

Find the path

Through the dark

Of least resistance

Entangled around one another

Holding on still

Exposed to the wind, rain, sun

And all kind of vermin

But still telling the story

Of the sculpting

Of the struggle

And the glory

Of living

no time to blog

After a long day at work I have no energy left to articulate creativity, I am just doing it, creating. You do not need to have a plan or a theme or even a reason. Once again I am just messing with photos on the computer because it relaxes me. So here it is the residue of play! Enjoy.

This one is called "plark 44" Hey I don't know why that's what I heard in my head.

And this one is called "Dhali 56" The reasoning of a name is not always related to understanding.

These were both photos of ground, just aiming the camera down and shooting the ground. Of course the ground I shot was the hot springs and thermal pools of Yellowstone National Park. They have great colors.

And here's one more, I'll call "Flower Out"
