Description
Arrived in 2016 this happy little play of line and color is part of the 100 Days of Summer series and derives its title from its original intuitive associations and additionally to its present owner and guardian.
Though the owner has yet to share his first impressions of the image, as artist I feel obliged (to the image) to fix in time my own 'feeling' regarding the forms and subjective movements that play out in the confined space we term as an image. And I first question: Is the image mere to its small, two dimensional object form or is it much more vast and dimensional than we perceive it?
Anyone who knows me can tell you that I perceive these creative images to be far from static and denser in dimensionality than our eyes inform us. But does the viewer believe so? Hopefully the viewer gets a spark of intuition in seeing the image; and hopefully that jump-starts the wheels of imagination to turn. Then I wonder: what story unfolds to the viewer - as he flies on that carpet of imagination? And can the viewer visually locate himself as the forms move in imaginal delight?
As the original viewer, I can feel and imagine movements that ascend; descend, swirl, lift and stretch outward! At the same time, I have the impression that some of the forms are 'consolidating' - moving at a different velocity - to the allusion of an upright figuration (a personality so to speak). As viewer it is easy to find relationship to the figuration; yet the first impressions and the figuration itself remain a product of ambiguity because the form is but an abstraction - mere similarities but each a consequence of paradox because each time I look back the form seems to announce something more or 'other' than the time before!
Might such an experience arrive to yet another viewer? And how many stories might draw out form this one, static, two dimensional image during an entire lifetime? In this case the question reverts to the title of the work and the timeless liminality of the guardian who possesses the one-of-a-kind original image.

Hello Terrance. So much here sparks this viewer's imagination, but even without a trained eye, this has much appeal. I especially like the dichotomy between the static form and the swirling environment as the world spins, the winds blow, the clouds fly by, the universe's light reflects in the shadows. My compliments....fv...VIVA
