A REVITALIZED DRAWING FROM AN ABANDONED SKETCHBOOK.....CIRCA 1972.......

Image
  ONE OF A SERIES OF DRAWINGS THAT I DID WHILE VISITING FRIENDS IN SOEST, HOLLAND.......MY FRIENDS TOOK A TRIP TO RUSSIA, LEAVING ME ALONE IN THEIR HOME FOR A WEEK....DURING WHICH, I FILLED A  32CM x 46CM, SPIRAL TALENS SKETCHBOOK WITH 'AUTOMATIC DRAWINGS'....DONE, WITH A LITTLE CONSCIOUS INTERFERENCE AS POSSIBLE.......THEY WERE 'INTENDED' TO BE PROTOTYPES FOR A SERIES OF MAJOR ARCANA TAROT CARDS.....THE OLD 'TALENS' WAS LEFT IN AN ATTIC, THEN A BASEMENT BOX, THEN ANOTHER BASEMENT BOX, THEN IN MY GARAGE RAFTERS.....FOR OVER 40 YEARS, BEFORE BEING REDISCOVERED BY A FRIEND THAT WAS 'CLEARING OUT MY GARAGE'.......THE PAPER IS BRITTLE AND DAMAGED BY LEAKING ROOF WATER, HEAT AND HUMIDITY, ALTERNATING WITH FREEZING COLD....AND SOME 'CHEWING' BY RODENTS AND VISITATION BY PAPER-EATING INSECTS.....I SCANNED 'THE REMAINS', THEN PHOTOSHOPPED THE SCANS....TO REMOVE AS MUCH DAMAGE, WORM HOLES, ET CETERA......AS I HAD THE PATIENCE AND INTENTION FOR.......

WHAT'S GOING ON, HERE? ADVISE FROM 'JESUS', PERHAPS? or JUST AN AVANT GARD EGYPTIAN STONE CARVER, CREATING A MAYAN HEAD.......

  “Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye;  and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?” .     The phrase is a metaphor for how flaws can blind someone, and is used to warn against hypocrisy.  In the verse, Jesus argues that people should first remove their own flaws before trying to fix others'

WHAT YOU 'SEE' IS PREDICATED BY 'WHAT YOU BELIEVE...IN'.........THE 'ANCIENT' WORLD'S PEOPLES SAW "HELIOS" , DRIVING A GOLDEN CHARIOT ACROSS THE SKY AS THEIR 'GOD'....AND, CLOUDS ARE, AFTER ALL, JUST CONDENSED WATER DOPLETS

AFTER THE 'GOD' HAULS THE ORB OF THE SUN ACROSS THE SKY, ILLUMINATING THE DARK EARTH.....HE RETIRES FOR THE WINTER....IN HYPERBOREA....WHERE, AS 'SANTA CLAUS', HE SUPERVISES THE BUILDING OF CHILDEN'S WISH-FULFILMENT PRAYERS....RETURNING ON A REGULAR BASIS, TO REIFY CHILDREN'S RELIGIOUS INDULCATIONS, THUS....PERPETUATING THIS DELUSIONAL NETWORK....

What does one see, process and interpret through the filters of experiential constructs, formulated during impressionable Youth? Twenty years ago, when I was 'donating' my new formulations about emotional development during 'formative years'.....(aren't they all?)....[remembering the 'Tests' that I 'took' in my teens, to 'discover' what kind of whacko artsy-fartsy, anti-social person that I seemed....by my parents, anyway.... to be 'becoming'.....the MMPI, 'Ink-Blot Test', Cooter Preference Exam and half a dozen others......] I 'designed' my own 'Testing Materials' for students that may not have met the parameters of 'Normalcy'.....that lacked high degrees of Imagination/Creativity...... The 'Problem' was that 'normal' youths were drawing 'blanks' and had little ...
