Visionary affect
Pleasantly surprised
Arrangement interest
On an engaging day long ago, I explore the visual boundaries of the air force base. Such aesthetic activity was antithetical to the tightly controlled environment.
“Like so many other truths, pointless.” – Neil Peart
Naturally spontaneous
Organic abstraction
Resonance oscillation
Going back and processing images captured during my earliest days of photographic activity is illuminating. Art is a balance of learning and unaffected experience.
“With such currents in the existential sea to swim through, a day spent in motion helped keep me afloat, forcing me to be moderately curious about my surroundings, and to concentrate on what I was doing.” – Neil Peart
Direct awareness
External world
On the move
Qualities of objects and events are perceptual abstractions which are synthetically recognized as objective truth. A shared cultural inventory of accepted theories are foundational to understanding.
“The chief vestige of subjectivity is the fallacy that everybody else also cares about the same things as the observer, and/or lives in his/her exact same state of mind.” – Stephan Attia
Intricate nature
Glint of brightness
Intriguing ambiguity
Obscuring much of the lake, large trees extend right up to the reservoir shore. Beyond any apparent functional use, abstract glimpses and interpretation encourage an aesthetic experience.
“The greater the ambiguity, the greater the pleasure.” – Milan Kundera
Natural duration
Continuity attentive
Awareness shares
Rhythm reveals ideas, as poetic imagination establishes narrative thought peripheries.
“Here wholeness is self-integrating in active performance, and form for once is the cause rather than the result of the material collections in which it successively subsists.” – Hans Jonas
Operative presence
Meaning continuum
Incident fulfillment
Episodes are perceived in terms of constantly evolving conditions. Many aspects of experience are something had, but not known or communicated.
“Every case of consciousness is dramatic; drama is an enhancement of the conditions of consciousness.” – John Dewey
Gestural ideas
Fortuity patterns
Visual reality
In free association, an abstract withdraw of substance from elsewhere isolates an alternative pathway to spiritual reality, producing a holistic response.
“Aestheticism is the garbage of intuitive feeling.” – Kazimir Malevich
Spatiotemporal coherence
Materialistic analysis
Event limitation
Isolating powerful undulating energy pulsating on the dynamic shore intersection, sense-awareness perceives one unit factor in nature bound by duration.
“The sea which lies before me as I write glows rather than sparkles in the bland May sunshine.” – Iris Murdoch
External raw stuff
Inner life enrichment
Disinterested nourishment
Present in the moment, essence is revealed when distanced from intentional advantage. Disrupting the cognitive map, thinking outside the box is always experimental.
“By standing over the world, questioning it, prying into it, one may discover principles and laws.” – Max Schoen
Visual reality
Gestural marks
Achieve effect
Divorced from a narrative purpose, abstract art can deliver meaning simply because of its actual presence. Formal aesthetic qualities are sufficient to provide ample satisfaction.
“Fine art is knowledge made visible.” – Gustave Courbet
