Analogous Discontinuity

Competing currents
Practical conventions
Dialectical duration

The intelligence analytically and scientifically apprehends an abstracted reality, while intuition grasps an experienced reality psychologically and spiritually. Although physical science provides practical knowledge, such knowledge is a manufactured, static construct of reality extracted from its dynamic completeness.

“If consciousness has to split up into intuition and intelligence, it is because of the need it had to apply itself to matter at the same time as it had to follow the stream of life. The double form of consciousness is due to the double form of the real.” – Henri Bergson

Fashionable Feelings

Flower assemblage
Pale violet wash
Morning glow

Just a few steps from my doorway, the annual lilac blossom spectacle was ephemeral but enjoyable. Transient events are often intensified by their very evanescence.

“Within the purple color family, there are clear winners and losers.” – Katy Kelleher

Floaters

Poolside sheen
Shimmering pearlescent
Luminous luster

The fundamental act of observation reveals instance after instance of complicated simplicity. In this iteration, the inflatable swim noodle and tube floats are illuminated with high intensity radiation, as the morning summer sun is both dazzling and therapeutic.

“Beneath the surface lies a network of roots.” – Carol Oates

Repetition in Relation

Schemata centered
Temporal pulsation
Isolation con detachment

The airport terminal is in a continuous state of dynamic action.

“The transference is the enactment of the reality of the unconscious.” – Jacques Lacan

Rockcliff Moonrise

Light shining
Connected soul
Ethereal substances

Night falls on the Sanger estate, but things remain bright.

“The moon is a loyal companion.” – Tahereh Mafi

Tree Silhouette

Object appearance
Nature of depiction
Abstract nominalism

The human disposition inclined to assemble objects or ideas into categories is exacerbated in the manufactured urban environment. Ambulating around the city offers awareness into the fundamental structure of reality, at least in terms of universals and particulars as appearance modalities.

“The myth of physical objects is epistemologically superior to most in that it has proved more efficacious than other myths as a device for working a manageable structure into the flux of experience.” – Willard Van Orman Quine

Cluster

Similar things
Occurring in unison
Synchronously together

Seeing purpose in ends rather than causal speculation, seasonal change becomes directional. That an intrinsic drive seems operative in all adaptive evolutionary trends engenders teleological thinking as a discriminative feature of biological explanation.

“I suppose that flowers, when they’re through blooming, have some sort of awareness of some purpose having been served.” – Kurt Vonnegut

Transient Infinity

Function metaphor
Possible approaches
Horizontal asymptotes

Penetrating space with a stealthy shape, a large foreground sculpture insinuates the limits of relative boundlessness. Currents of contemporary evaluation remain firmly in place, as the exhausted can no longer possibilitat.

“To infinity and beyond!” – Buzz Lightyear

Near the Future

Close formation
Imminent distance
Physically within reach

Interrelationships have a tendency to accumulate in space and time. In the continuous flux of life, we organize units of correlativity into manageable discrete fragments.

“I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald
