Artist's Comments

'o imagination, you who have the power to impose yourself on our faculties and our wills, stealing us away from the outer world and carrying us off into an inner one, so that even if a thousand trumpets were to sound, we wouldnt hear them, what is the source of visual messages that you receive, if they arent formed from sensations deposited on your memory?'

dante (XVII.13-18) (Cool)

is there an intrinsic logic of the imaginary world?

Share your kindness, not your hate.
Love the art, before yourself.

The things which first I heard, and brought me here.
One came where, in the Outer Place, I dwell,
Suspense from hope of Heaven or fear of Hell,
Radiant in light that native round her clung,

And cast her eyes our hopeless Shades among
(Eyes with no earthly like but heaven's own blue),

And called me to her in such voice as few
In that grim place had heard, so low, so clear,
So toned and cadenced from the Utmost Sphere,
The Unattainable Heaven from which she came.
'O Mantuan Spirit,' she said, 'whose lasting fame
Continues on the earth ye left, and still
With Time shall stand, an earthly friend to me,
- My friend, not fortune's - climbs a path so ill
That all the night-bred fears he hastes to flee
Were kindly to the thing he nears.

When I first saw the image, I thought of flesh trying to hide or disguise itself. Then I saw your description and realised that in some way this was true. The swirls became branches/twines of ideas as they tried to remove themselves from the "outer world".
Then I began to wonder, if thoughts could exist independently from the external world, I don't know because my thoughts/ideas seem to form from the "outer world".
I am confusing myself with this conundrum so I'll stop there and just say that I really like this image and found the description very provocative.
Thank you.

What would an imaginary world be like without physical senses and hormones? I think it's mostly hormones and the rest is culture - and eyes...

But I'm a philistine ;) (Wink)

This image looks simple and complex. The black shape in the upper part of the frame looks like a vehicle for the 'eye' underneath. I find that concept very interesting. Something that an eye looks through which affects the transmission of the idea, filtering it, like a perspective...

It's also quite beautiful, it has to me an appearance of cloth with the outer black marks placed over it, as if it's made from different pieces, fragments, assembled...

jeSS :) (Smile)

i love it...the colors, the design, just everything is awesome...i love it
:iconthe-wanderer:
This is just awful,
I've seen a better one in a friends house in london;)

that is one iced wild rasberry jam covered pizza.

I believe there is logic to every world.
but the concept of logic is probably nothing we're famalair with.

I like the face of the baby and the face of the old man.
I like the branches curling, holding everything within it's grasp.
freedom
whats that?
nothing exists outside my boundry?
how would you know?
you've never existed outside it

the whiteness leaks in
but it wraps itself around
covering as much as it can
but how much can it cover?
and for how long?
