Sympathetic Acquaintance

Inexhaustible richness
Complex interrelation
Lived experience

Aesthetics is a mental frame of context that facilitates contact with life in its living vitality. Every interpretation fits an existing universe inside imagination.

“Artworks detach themselves from the empirical world and bring forth another world, one opposed to the empirical world as if this other world too were an autonomous entity.” – Theodor W. Adorno

No Matter

Surface energy
Color resources
Quaint distinctions

Tracing radiation across a retail strip-mall at dusk covers the world in virtual brush strokes. Expanding the performative aspect in splendored action, a mediated painting does not necessarily require paint.

“I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.” – Frida Kahlo

Waves

Compounding series
Empathetic interconnectivity
Ripple effect

Ocean waves catch the morning sunlight in a creative push, feeding imagination and freedom as everything moves around.

“Life is a wave, which in no two consecutive moments of its existence is composed of the same particles.” – John Tyndall

Coal Pier

Between rail and ship
Transloading facility
Conveyor system

For better and for worse, mankind exercises large-scale control over natural resources to support extensive populations. Continued investments in processing equipment and in capacious production are required.

“To shipbrokers, coal was black gold.” – Roald Dahl

Modern Morning Sunshine

City isolation
Categorize usefulness
Postulated perceiving

On a kinetic encounter with an ordinary day, light quintessentially personifies inspiration, elucidation, and exquisite presence.

“No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.” – Edward Hopper

Gesticulation

Manifold manifestations
Spontaneous attention
Abounds in movement

Spinning around a curve on a lonesome highway, oncoming traffic providentially remains in its designated lane. We tend to place much trust in the behavior of others operating within an organized society.

“There is a tendency to seek an objective account of everything before admitting its reality.” – Thomas Nagel

Light Musings

Soul stirring
External Meditation
Life in alignment

Facing east in the morning, the sun appears to skip over the frozen winter horizon. The relationship between the earth and the sun is kind of like a slow dance.

“Because no matter where your eyes turn, and even when they’re closed, you will see light, you will feel light, you will know light.” – Halina Goldstein

Snow Warming

Complex interplay
Seasonal pattern
Tilted axis

Solar energy on display in the frozen winter landscape of the American west inspires aesthetic gratification. Snow cover helps to regulate the temperature of the Earth’s surface and replenish the water table.

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.” – Carl Reiner

Philosophical Naturalism

Mystical perception
Sovereign realities
Unit of value

Ebullient enchantment emerges and vibrates to antediluvian echoes. Pride of place is embodied in the magical solitude of the winter landscape.

“No man’s knowledge here can go beyond his experience.” – John Locke

Driving Force

Shifting tension
Precipitate nature
Regression progress

Experience and reflection gradually render dogmas suspicious. New doubts make for more available paths forward.

“Never get mired in the past and always accept new things whatever age you are.” – Debbie Harry
