THE SUBJECT OF "THE OBJECT"

My creative writing teacher once said that in writing fiction 'what' you say is not as important as 'how' you say it.  I believe the same rule applies in visual arts as well.  Grand topics and universal themes are great, they have their roles, but one of my favorite things to do is to take humble, common things in everyday life - little trivialities noticed by no one else but me - and modify or present them in ways that imbue them with special significance - or "dignity", as I call it.

The Secret Language Of The Earth (Pt. 3)

Yesterday, while taking a stroll through the neighborhood, I happened to notice a lovely, sinuous stain on the ground. I had to photograph it in sections because I couldn't get far enough away for a full view. After I downloaded the photos, all I wanted at first was just to mosaic them together into a single image. But then, I started fiddling with it as I am wont to do, blending the edges here and there, adding a couple of doodles here and there -- and I love what resulted! Click on the image for a larger view.
