Loving it. Sort of demystifying the process.

Subjective to say the very least.

Put any art you've made, up on this thread.

The context of life across its expanse (for example one stands on a crust of rock comparatively thinner that an eggshell on a ball of molten metal forty miles below), is mysterious and mystical in essence because it exceeds as a matter of fact beyond comprehension, in other words bigger that words like poetry or art.

If it's bigger than that, then its mystical just as a matter of fact of its being.

All that one sees across the visual field is iconographic of that, just as a matter of fact.

Therefore there is always a subject.

The notion of being 'stuck for ideas' is comical, with respect.


I've added to a small sculpture today and taken a photograph of it. It's a piece of flint off a beach that looks like a shoe, or like a headdress around a dark figure.

I found what I think maybe the sea-weathered remains of a tile, a feet away from the first object and placed them together and hey presto a pictorial object was created.

I"m happy with that, but today I found a jigsaw piece and placed it on the object, so now it looks like it could represent not being on the beach, because the object is not on a beach, it's on a TV.

So I've called it '2020 Beach'

If you have a screen big enough, if one puts the eyes of one's reflection upon the screen image so that one's eyes are where the two black shapes that look like sunglasses are, one can see one's self as if wearing a mask.

I've just discovered it, now...

"... Of course it must be a worldwide Islamic plot, 2020, you know... Oh I... There's a place called The Berggruen Institute, God 'n' goes there... God 'n' Bleu... It's a G8 summit-type body. Some say it's based in Newcastle... "

I did this doodle over the course of a year in a beer garden in Oz, it's the only photo I have of it and is a little pixelated so you can't make out the detail. Somebody nicked it from my dorm room and I was proper gutted because it wasn't finished.

A suitable title may be: unkempt bush with flag like adornments.

I see it as if it is like the pelt of an animal, similar to seeing pictures on dogs, especially if they are in both light and shade, with a tiger face in the centre and like wood grain or a piece of Yorkshire limestone with tiny fossils on them. It's morphological, as different pictorial phenomena manifests from the pictorial structure.
