Vital Process

Interval mobility
Essential moments
Heterogeneous continuity

Contingent creative novelty incessantly transpires, shifting the form of appearance. As consciousness is filled with psychical evolution, the coherence of harmonious interpenetration in time is congruent with instantaneous juxtapositions.

“This duration may not be the fact of matter itself, but that of the life which reascends the course of matter; the two movements are none the less mutually dependent upon each other.” – Henri Bergson

Skipper

Time fragments
Rowing positions
Get to the point

The essence of persistence is resistance to the passage of time, remembering things that might have happened.

“We’re in a rowboat. We move forward, but we’re always looking back.” – Louise Penny

Abstract Distinction

Explicit dichotomy
Theoretical articulation
Concept formation

Deepening understanding, abstractions augment and organize experienced reality. Intellectualism exists alongside materialism.

“This idea that there is generality in the specific is of far-reaching importance.” – Douglas R. Hofstadter

Free Floating

More glorious
Shifting borders
Passionate attention

Beyond the ordinary, every ride through a vast expanse of countryside opens vistas of involvement. Aesthetics blends inner and outer worlds into an amalgamation of amazement.

“What is a Wanderess? Bound by no boundaries, contained by no countries, tamed by no time, she is the force of nature’s course.” – Roman Payne

River Flow

Moving change
Everywhere present
Winding through landscapes

Coursing its way through space and time, as a matter of abstract practicality, a river and a life share some existential features. Peaks and valleys manifest along the way on a journey to eventual oceanic disappearance.

“Learn from a river; obstacles may force it to change its course, but never its destination.” – Matshona Dhliwayo

Abstract Entities

Something in common
Existing independently
Aesthetic approaches

Isolating particulars as visual components of a conceptual response, ideas endure continuous change. Natural processes drive the diversity and unity of life.

“What about someone who believes in beautiful things, but doesn’t believe in the beautiful itself…? Don’t you think he is living in a dream rather than a wakened state?” – Plato

Fall Passage

Turning late
Amber sunlight
Autumn thoughts

Before winter’s gray silence, bright flames climax across the terrestrial expanse. In each season, the artist uses what the world offers.

“No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.” – John Donne

Office Space

Uniform
Homogeneous
Indistinguishable

The cubicle influence extends the suburban outskirts of most municipalities through consistent homogeneity. Future developments are a reaction to the present as a contemporary adjudication.

“Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements!” – Peter Gibbons

Groupings

Grey context
Color aggregation
Substance environment

An overcast day in the late fall of 1976 aesthetically translates. By scanning subtle color saturation captured on slide film, an explicit collaboration with a much younger version of myself transpires.

“Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.” – Franz Kafka

Launch Forth

Spiritual force
Successive moment
Territorial assemblage

Spiritual places possess the power to inspire and impress the mind and heart. The memories of specific experiences intensify with the passage of time.

“One ventures from home on the thread of a tune.” – Gilles Deleuze
