Big Small Things

Some new imagery to add to the rest of the summer's art.
Got thinking about these when I saw a micro image of the AIDS virus in the Genome exhibit at the Smithsonian--and more importantly, thinking about how they might make some really interesting statements when combined with other themes like

-natural landscapes, specifically American Southwest, canyonlands
-portraits, images from news media, thinking of doing a more politicized series
-Hungarian woven patterning/any ornamental design

I'll be playing with the ideas of decoration as a source of pleasure and an end in itself, and how that focus on aesthetics contrasts (or maybe doesn't) with issues such as humans' relationship with the earth and with each other.  Are humans to the earth what microbes and bacteria are to humans? 

Stay tuned for how this relates to seeds too!


Celtic interwoven patterning of shapes


Macro-eye, filigree


passageways and doors, openings, bubbles surfacing, dancing on top


songlines, dreamtime, lace


Roger Dean dimensionality--this color scheme. Broccoli


this color combination and explosive outward movement
symbolism of central pairing


separate yet intertwined worlds
depth at center



central focal point, blurred haze surrounding


leaf, seed, radiation




glassy

more dancing



bees, honeycomb, storage, harvest, tiny city
