Imagine a future that is not merely continuation
I talked elsewhere about meandering with the line, cascading among the clusters, and improvising associations. Here are a couple of other fun strategies to employ when looking at my paintings.
You can treat the loops themselves like lenses, transparent bubbles through which you see more transparent bubbles, each its own little drop-shaped composition. Look at the loops themselves and they seem to be suspended in a shallow 3d space that warps anywhere from flat to a couple of centimeters deep as your eyes move over the surface. This is especially pronounced when one or more of the earlier iterations read like shadows cast by the later ones.
Look through the loops rather than at them and that shallow space expands to an undefined depth of field and scales to contain gas clouds, spectral waveforms, specks suspended in a backlit liquid that might themselves be massive and distant. The shifts in scale and dimensionality that accompany the shifts in your focus and attention can create a feeling a bit like standing on a boat as a wave passes under. Uncanny, but also pleasant.
So, meander with the line, cascade through the clusters. Improvise associations, treat the loops like lenses, shapeshift through the space and scale. That’s five fun ways to look at my paintings. There are more.
