Things that underpin my art
My art tries to parse out depths visually and in connection, underpinned by congenital differences from the norm.
Quotes I’m Sharing – 3 – Vision
Vision
“If the doors of perception were cleansed,
everything would appear to man as it is,
infinite.â€Â
William Blake
Our lack of sight defines us.
That definition of ourselves is constantly refined and outright changed by scientists, physicists and mathematicians, by philosophers, writers and artists. Their work shows us what we don’t see, where we lack sight. They make visible the negative spaces and dark matter and energy that interweave what we think is the whole of the perceivable universe.
Quotes I’m Sharing – 2 – We are continuous

“You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.â€
Alan Watts. Philosopher, writer
