Urban Elegance

Dignified propriety
Pleasingly graceful
Stylish appearance

An organic form is here accentuated by high intensity radiation reflecting off a manufactured architectural structure in the metropolis backdrop. Such an appearance brings to light questions concerning the nature of natural. In its most broad sense, to be natural must include all matter and all forces acting on matter. Thus along with energy, the appurtenances of the biological world, including humans and the convergences of their society, are all natural.

“But we call that clear knowledge which comes, not from our being convinced by reasons, but from our feeling and enjoying the thing itself, and it surpasses the other by far.” – Baruch Spinoza

Second Reflection

Broadest sense
Theatrical implications
Extreme consciousness

Arbitrarily frequenting an approximate spatial location in the metropolis, similar ambient lighting conditions stimulate a reciprocal aesthetic response. Nevertheless, each individual event is its own standard, open to feeling and enjoyment as an isolated duration.

“It seems that expectation creates a void in us, that it prepares the resumption of being, and helps us to understand destiny; in short, expectation makes temporal frameworks in order to receive memories.” – Gaston Bachelard

Dandelion Four

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

Immanent Purposiveness

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

Commensurable

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

Axiomatic

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

Certain Given Conditions

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

Cumulonimbus

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

High Intensity

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

With Standing

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
