mystery of creatIon

 



Just browsing through photos, a couple of images of a piece in its first appearance, still wet, and then how it ended up. It might show that when or if I talk of a piece as if it appears almost apart from my intellect or will, and then I try to shape it a bit, and ideally the less the better, this is hopefully a pretty good example of the truth of that. That I’m not consciously looking to create such an image before its initial appearance - though how tuned in I am may considerably affect the likelihood of something interesting and ‘true’ appearing in the first place, and from where a final worthwhile piece may result.

To add, it is a pity much of the beautiful black fluidity of the initial inky forms is lost or diluted as the ink dries.
