One way street
Downtown vibes
Close up perspective
Welcome the rain that cleans the village streets by dancing with the lights glowing in the drizzle.
“A poet is someone who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightning.” – James Dickey
Exchanging beauty
Progressing gestures
Loose ends
Reflected sunlight dances across the urban prairie. Mapping particular contours, the visual consequences of sublime illumination operate on the human margins of constructed suburbia.
“The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.” – Jackson Pollock
Repetitive currents
Alternate possibilities
Intense focus
By expressing more than is known, the aesthetic response is not merely habitual. Refinement depends on the challenge of novelty.
“The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal.” – John Dewey
Awareness stream
Information context
Quality mediates
In the autumn, late afternoon sunlight illuminates a misanthropic commercial suburban complex. Providing a coherent sense of place, beauty mitigates existential malaise.
“Rather than try to sort the forms for the ones that please and avoid the ones that do not, is it possible for our simple awareness to move through the forms of our life, bring with it whatever change or integration is necessary?” – Steven Harrison
Intuit fulfillment
Freedom opening
Beyond possession
The artist seeks a dynamic understanding of existence. All journeys inherently involve transformation potential, extending the bounds of current understanding and awareness.
“I know now that my participation was conditioned on how well I learned to listen and to see the inherent patterns within the natural order I sensed.” – Jerry Wennstrom
Unique occurrence
Analogous character
Event stream
An emotional abstraction in space and time lies on the boundary between theory and the unknown as a function of exploration and discovery. Learn the territory by walking around.
“The most powerful way to gain insight into a system is by moving between levels of abstraction.” – Bret Victor
Luminous passages
Radiating directions
Articulation discourse
A morning walk in a groomed neighborhood is neither an expected affirmation nor a veiled negation. In experience there are many competing serial time modalities derived from various categories of natural duration.
“Now that I have in perception the thing itself, and not a representation, I will only add that the thing is at the end of my gaze and, in general, at the end of my exploration.” – Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Indispensable foundation
Aesthetic enjoyment
Calm recognition
Despite consciously false concepts, we nevertheless arrive at reliable consequences. The mental processes make sense of an idea by assimilating it into the aggregate of already possessed suppositions.
“The object is not to make art. It is to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable” – Robert Henri
Ripples reach shore
Intimate transfiguration
Promenade in the morning
Certain familiar local geographic locations always stimulate imagination as the most valuable individual asset. As we experience life in the mind, creativeness is one of the forces of nature.
“Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.” – Wallace Stevens
Organic Elements
Quality ambiance
Spatial disposition
Seeking a more complete understanding of an environment that is always only partially observable, the artist is attentive to the present as a continuous flux. Individual perceptions are subjective reality, separated from those of everyone else and abstracted from objective existence.
“Autonomous agents may not have access to complete information about the state of the environment.” – Alicia Peregrin Wolfe
