Gorgeous adversity
Tenaciously delicate
Patience and endurance
In order that all things may be better comprehended, employ one example. When a blooming profusion intimidates, visit a solitary blossom in the immediate area.
“Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world. If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn.” – Andrew Mason
Empirical reality
Governing principle
Aesthetic identity
Artworks function as afterimages of empirical experience. The larger the experiential base, the more aesthetic possibilities manifest. Such experience need not all be operative in conscious awareness, but also can accrue from unformed sensation arising from engagement.
“There is no aesthetic refraction without something being refracted; no imagination without something imagined.” – Theodor W. Adorno
Subjective spirit
Transformed epiphany
Paradoxical unity
Expressive elements are dispersed over an appearance threshold. At that temporal and geographic juncture, art is crystallized out of particular elements, as they became a new totality. Objects extracted and recombined possess ideality by virtue of their spiritualization.
“Art and composition tolerate no conventional fetters: mind and soul soar above them.” – Joseph Haydn
New possibilities confront
Expansion appears as contraction
Spontaneously compensated
A durational event occurs at a temporal transition juncture in the heart of the city. Radiation patterns rapidly realign offering a fascinating pageantry of involvement.
“It is self-evident that nothing concerning art is self-evident anymore, not it’s inner life, not its relation to the world, not even its right to exist.” – Theodor W. Adorno
Arrange together components
Various conceptual elements
Formed into an aggregate
The simultaneous combination of aligning images formulates an unanticipated visual harmony of vastly disparate locations.
“He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.” – Marcus Aurelius
Towering vertical
Equilibrium level
Frontal squall line
While driving through rural Louisiana in the late aftrernoon, green clouds on the horizon appear ominous. For the visual artist, thunderstorms are as seductive as clear sunshine.
“There is peace even in the storm.” – Vincent van Gogh
Exact position
Linear accelerator
Simulation session
The morning sun reflects off the city in a way that accentuates the angular geometry of the constructed framework. In an active engagement, the perception of objects is dependent on differential energy patterns.
“The time that leads to mastery is dependent on the intensity of our focus.” – Robert Greene
Differ materially
Calculate accordingly
Experience particulars
The subject is an observer and an object is a thing observed within a relational field. Given that object manifestations are in constant fluctuation, identification and classification requires conceptual interpretation. Thus, the essential nature of objects can never be directly experienced but only inferred in light of current context.
“The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.” – Baruch Spinoza
More similar
In some sense
Density threshold
Similarities and difference are always in play as the artist observes components in a given conceptual system. Any object must be distinguished from another within the relational field. This dynamic discrimination involves cognitive, emotional, and spiritual connections established between the practitioner and the delineated.
“The image is more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed with energy.” – Ezra Pound
Stir emotions
Penetrate into
Possible futures
An urban space evolves just outside the hotel window, as night falls on New Orleans in a symphony of dancing lights. Moving through time, any large city formation involves some indelible spatial investments.
“The strength of this theory lies in its satisfactoriness.” – K.W. Wild
