It looks like leaves, feathers, and zephyrs swirling and undulating around nebulae up in the sky as a person from a different time on earth gazes upwards. Of course such perceptions are imagined as bold. This because of the lack of city lights in that time. Who knows what year it is? Who cares? When one is lost in the beauty, mystery, and awesomeness of this unfathomable universe or the next, one loses meaningless needs to measure and compare.
Well, I still like having my rational mind about me, and even sharpening it for a better understanding of my surroundings, things, and people. It’s just nice to take flights of fancy into incredible reveries so that I can capture a few of their elements in drawings and writings.
I just finished a new drawing I call Happy Zephyrs. While this is not that drawing—and I haven’t posted it on my Art of eVan blog yet—it does have elements of Happy Zephyrs embedded in it. There’s no hidden text in this piece, so don’t concern yourself with sublime communications. I titled it Storm of Dark Matter.
This electronic illustration makes me think of peering up into space. Or, perhaps—I imagine—I am in space, traveling around in it on the outskirts of galactic clusters, penetrating the folds of dark matter (whatever that is) and taking snap-shots of what I see. Because, really, astrophysicists don’t even know what dark matter is, but they do know something more permeates our universe because of the amount of stuff measured in it as compared to what we can see.
This piece makes me think of the Hopi Indians, and how they left artistic markings in stones consisting of characters and spiral formations. I imagine the Hopis looked into the night sky often and let themselves unleash with wonder, awe, and imagination. It is indeed energizing to feel the unseen properties and elements of space and time. Rather like waves lapping on a shore of consciousness and audible conch shells in a backwater location.
In my sketching of new ideas, I’ve been exploring trebeculations interconnecting irregularly, and then adding convolutions and spirals to them. So it’s a play on straight and curved lines really, which makes me think of bitmap and vector imagery combined into one level of a fractal snapshot. Like nautilus shells placed in open boxes so that one can put them together as a piece of art and hang them on the wall.
