This is one of My Favourite Sets Of Extracts. Because to Me... this is an Excellent Visual "Reflection" of How Our Daydreams Begin To "Arise" in Archetypal Forms... Into Our Field of Conscious Awareness for Us to Be Bemused... Amused... and Amazed By. Yet All from Within Ourselves. Consider The Source Of Your Imaginations... and You Will Know Yourself Even Better Than Before.
One of my Earliest Experiments in Creating Abstract Art in Photographic Form. Significant Because... Before I met my Beloved 4th Husband John - Who was Also an Artist... Like Me... I never had any Regard for the Abstract Art Movement. Whenever I saw an Abstract Piece, I would scorn it as Similar to the Kinds Of Artworks I was Making When I was 3 1/2 years old. They All Appeared to be Either Simplistic Child's Play, Purely Chaotic Messes, Accidental or just Downright "Bullsh*t". But After John and I got Together... I gradually "Outgrew" my Preconceived Notions and Prejudices about the Intrinsic Nature of Abstract Art and Began To Realise It's Inherent Cultural Value.
Which is to "Unlock" and "Open" Our Eyes, Minds, Hearts and Spirits to Fresh New Ways of Perceiving the World We Live In... of Living in this World in Better Ways than We Ever Could Before... due to our "Limited Perspectives".
This is an Extract (2016 or 2017) I Created from a Digital Photo (2009) of Morning Sunlight Reflecting off of Duckweed floating on the surface of the water in my goldfish tank, As Seen through the dirty glass. As I've Said Before... "Inspiration Is Everywhere We Look". Just a Matter of Learning How To "See"... Which is Why, I Rotate My Extracts. Create Them in Sets of Four. Because Not Only Can They Be Seen From Different Perspectives... They Are Meant To Be. It is When We are Able To Look At Something, Anything... from More Than One Perspective... that We Are Able to Learn How To See All That Can Be... All Possibilities in Any Situation, All Choices We May Have to Live Our Lives in the Best Way Possible.
