Description
Often we refer things as 'Inside Out' yet might its reverse have far more implication... Especially that it is yet qualified, cognitively specking, how much of what we 'see' is really not merely a perceptual misconception?
Stated as such, what seemingly builds expressively onto a matrix of artistic materials is as much about the implications of perceptions as it is to the implications of imaginal 'other-ness' - or vice-a-versa! Visual perception notwithstanding, more is always in play with regard to creative images.
We know well that the artist cannot hide behind the implications of the images; something more spills onto the canvas...even when the intention is to block or otherwise subject image to privation. The finished presentation will render, be it cultivation or privation, 'implications' that allow some viewers substance to decode a 'what-else-ness' to mind. Most often we even refer it as 'imagined' and give it little weight; but might that be premature and preempting?
That would suppose that an image might be more than we value it at this present time...A case could be made that there was a time that 'image' was more significant to its audience. An a case might even be made that humanity has grown past such things.
But given the present relationships to image and what we have enjoyed in those relationships, might it further be questioned: have we missed (forgotten or rationalized away) something more that image in fact is?
In thirty odd years of toying with such questioning it would be difficult for me to limit the implications that image has unlocked to my own otherwise limited experiences - even with all the technological gimmickry at hand to foster virtual experience! I have traveled to the most remotest points of this planet, viewing a multitudinous array of species and living creatures...I have even visited the Moon, Mars, Rings of Saturn and beyond...And yet what arrives by way of the images that morph onto my materials, to my mind and its generous imagination, has taken me beyond space and time - dimensional and mortal.
All of what is discovered or imagined of perceptual-ness; and outside-ness is now 'In'!
And 'in' is not a mausoleum but a fountain because it permeates the creative image and flows forth to the next pair of eyes...Cognate of the fact or not, image -which is man made, no matter the tool employed - is recorded on the pathways carrying mind; even when those pathways have little exercise or use.
If the pathway is there, forgotten or not, yet understood, a reason somewhere follows to 'purpose' or 'potential' or both...
So if for no other purpose or potential, the images are mounted for view; that they might exercise a pathway that has been forgotten, misappropriated or over rationalized from what it might actually provide... Imagine what might bring more.
