Weatherworn
Epoch juncture
Complex gnarl
Imagination sets in
An old door indicates passage through time as a narrative written in texture.
“I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.” – Andy Warhol
Exists as Becoming
Irresistibly drawn
Difference insistence
Impinge relief
The local and distant interfuse in an open system under the night sky, articulated only through an absolute and ungeneralizable singularity. The immersion of life and matter in the real depends on the force and effect of duration.
“Likes won’t get you diddly in these parts.” – Thomas Middleditch
Spatial Form
Modernist assumptions
Spiritual implications
Stylistic differences
To arrive at meaningful descriptions we must move away from exactitude. Not only are all visual images abstractions, but in alliance the rigorous sciences also are fabricated upon inexact representations.
“The work of art, as an autonomous organism, stands beside nature on equal terms and, in its deepest and innermost essence, devoid of any connection with it, in so far as by nature is understood the visible surface of things.” – Wilhelm Worringer
Cold Day
Lonely city
Blustery chill felt
Senses whirling
Multitudinous happenings transpire within an area of expansive density, as considerations of immediacy reflect on continuance and veracity formulation. Time and temporal perspectives, both visual and cognitive, govern experience.
“There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I’m born to leave.” – Charlotte Eriksson
Dunk’s Deli
Greater downtown
Central business district
Do not expect much
A colorful striped awning in the morning sun is advantageously integrated into an urban geometrical abstraction. The spatial relationships between various compositional parts never cease irresistibly to draw attention and interest.
“Every true artist has been inspired more by the beauty of lines and color and the relationships between them than by the concrete subject of the picture.” – Piet Mondrian
Regions of Apprehension
Complex riches
Multifarious degrees
Internal distinction
Many realities manifest in the front yard during nocturnal activities.
“No one can be aware of the real meaning of unity without an equal grasp of the sense of distinction.” – Jacques Maritain
Interval Break
Reflective edge
Suddenly susceptible
Essence remains
Mesmerizing information organizes itself into layers on the urban corner. A nuance of meaning lasts for a prescribed waiting period as passive thoughts meddle with appearance.
“By bring one back to oneself, the painted traces awaken feeling, disclose inward spirit, subjectivity, to itself in the mode of feeling.” – John Sallis
Crossing
Traverse interpretation
Scattering amplitudes
Continuation energies
As a matter of discernment, beauty is available to all people even in the most ordinary of circumstances.
“Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” – Richard Feynman
Peripatetic
Accumulated time
Banded display
Ordered color
As ambient conditions deliver temporary winter warming on a clear bright night, aesthetic advantage reaffirms our position on a ball floating through space. So much immediate surface is apparent, hitherto teeming with so much cosmic depth and wonder.
“What the photograph reproduces to infinity has occurred only once: the photograph mechanically repeats what could never be repeated existentially.” – Roland Barthes
Flatland
Enough evidence
Measured empirically
Propounds the view
Out in the middle of the street, age and random crushing forms an aesthetic object full of curiosity.
“Alas, a few years ago, I should have said “my universe”: but now my mind has been opened to higher views of things.” – Edwin A. Abbott
