Four recent pieces I haven't had the time to post yet:
18.02.2025 18:37 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 1Finished 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.
01.02.2025 18:12 โ ๐ 9 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Finished this one minutes ago- the title is "้ฃ็ญ" (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.
31.01.2025 03:36 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This 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.
29.01.2025 23:42 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0You 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?
28.01.2025 05:42 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Just 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.
28.01.2025 01:43 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Ibrahim El-Salahi, The Mosque, 1964
02.06.2023 17:19 โ ๐ 10 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This 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.
26.01.2025 16:22 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Most 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.
25.01.2025 17:38 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I forgot to mention the title: "Face Grandview"
24.01.2025 01:04 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0A 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.
24.01.2025 01:03 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Recently 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.
23.01.2025 05:49 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Oligarchy isn't the right word. The right word is Plutarchy.
