RORSCHACH CARD #99

 











FOR 20 YEARS, I'VE 'WORKED ON' THE 'INFINITE PERSPECTIVE' PICTURES.....DONE ON SANDWICHED GLASS PANELS, PHOTOGRAPHED WITH VARIATIONS OF 'TYPES OF LIGHTING'....USUALLY, NATURAL SUNLIGHT OR MOONLIGHT.....THEN MANIPULATED, VIA PHOTOSHOPPING PROGRAMS........THE 'PROJECT' BEGAN AS AN ATTEMPT TO PRODUCE THE MAJOR ARCANA CARDS FOR MY PROSPECTIVE 'TAROT CARD DECK'.....THEN BECAME PART OF MY PSYCHOLOGY PROJECT, "RORCHACHT CARDS".....SINCE, USUALLY, I WORKED ONLY WITH MY PHONE'S CAMERA...THE IMAGES WERE NOT DETAILED ENOUGH FOR THE "INFINITE PERSPECTIVE' PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN ABANDONED.......WHERIN THE VIEWER COULD ZOOM, CONTINUOUSLY, INTO THE 'PICTURE', THEN 'STOP' ON DETAILS THAT SPOKE TO THE VIEWER'S IMAGINATION.......AND ASK, 'WHY HERE?'.......'WHAT WAS I PROJECTING FROM MY SUBCONSCIOUS, ONTO THIS IMAGE?" I HAVE THE CAMERAS FOR THAT PROJECT, BUT NOT ENOUGH OBSESSIVENESS TO PURSUE YET ANOTHER 'ART' PROJECT. I WAS, ORIGINALLY, INSPIRED BY THE WORKS OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE PAINTERS, HIERONYMUS BOSCH.....AS WELL AS JACKSON POLLOCK.

CONFABULATORIAL INTERSTITUAL COLLUSIONS FROM WITHIN THE COMPARTMENTALIZED MEMORY BANKS OF NOT QUITE RANDOM CHEMICAL CONNECTIONS THAT SURFACE, THEN DECAY, RECOMBINING AND RECONSTUCTURALIZING...AGAIN AND AGAIN....

  ....from a note. over a dozen years ago, to a friend, whom, at that time, I knew as "Chaz" and with whom i've shared many 'dialogues' over the past couple of decades, although we have never met in the "real world", but only within the contexts of Myspace and Facebook: Re: mental illness as the burdensome lagniappe of Creativity...the compartmentalization, then unravelling, of associative collusions within the mass of cortical tissues......:.....It is not so much that eccentricity is incomprehensible, for  i don't seek to discover the periapsis of intellect or the common, intersections that we share......somewhere between 24 and 42, so to speak, wherein the trajectory of random thoughts collide in expressions that are both recognized as "real", yet, at the same instant, are transient and unknowable........i keep, at my bedside, 7 boxes, varying in both size and design, materials of construction and contents.......At one point in time....we...
