Cluster Analysis

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

After Hours

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

Radiating Center

Nature often seems to demonstrate effortless mathematical representations of symmetry laws. Physically forming a pattern as lines drawn from the interior to various points on the perimeter, this plant well complements the intense summer sunshine.

“When one pauses to consider the elegance and the beautiful perfection of the mathematical reasoning involved and contrast it with the complex and far-reaching physical consequences, a deep sense of respect for the power of the symmetry laws never fails to develop.” – Chen Ning Yang

Pressure Vessel

High compression
Decorated container
Round corner transition

Turning down a side road while on a summer morning walk in a new dominion, suddenly an incongruous configuration of graffiti art appears. Inconsistent with the rest of the neighborhood, there is a certain level of discordant harmony associated with this presentation.

“I’m just a vessel of information.” – Steven Cojocaru

Downstream

Defined banks
Hydrological cycle
Flowing waterway

Rivers are not only economically important to the advancement of civilization, but are universally appealing as metaphorical landforms. In their ceaseless motion, they question both time and natural teleology.

“A dream is like a river ever changing as it flows and a dreamer is just a vessel that must follow where it goes.” – Garth Brooks

Isolationism

Self-reliant
Species concept
Environmental adaptation

Vegetation distinctions are part of what makes travel to exotic localities appealing. Each destination has its own exclusive essence and atmosphere, including the quality of the ambient light.

“We first make our habits, then our habits make us.” – John Dryden

Hot Slices Now

Minimal staff
Casual atmosphere
Popular place

Cool corner sign, but only average food is offered.

“My love is pizza shaped. Won’t you have a slice? It’s circular, so there’s enough to go around.” – Dora J. Arod

Absorbing Attention

Consciously entertaining
Further examination
Impermanence inclination

Cast across senescent pavement deep in the city, an indexical shadow forms a stimulating orderliness motif. Pattern recognition is a visual key to inductive thinking.

“Either there is something about the immediate occasion which affords knowledge of the past and the future, or we are reduced to utter skepticism as to memory and induction.” – Alfred North Whitehead

Dioscorea Bulbifera

Naturalized
Widely cultivated
Perennial vine

Atrociously invasive, this attractive vine is almost impossible to eradicate once established. Unlike other herbaceous vines, a unique distinguishing characteristic of the air potato plant is that all leaf veins start from the leaf base.

“A supposedly daring insight came up, disguised as a question: Dr. Cole, aren’t humans the most invasive species of all?” – Joe Pitkin

Constant Flux

Subjective tone
Organic level
Physical response

Experiencing duration as continuity offers a veritable glimpse into the essential nature of reality, although always conditioned by limited understanding. Thus for a moment we may grasp the beginning of a truth which exists beyond permanent hold.

“We do know in a mode different from mere physical response, and we must call the ultimate fact of knowing by some unambiguous name.” – K.W. Wild
