My Alien Plasma

Image
  My Alien Plasma I made two digital artworks, each with a different approach. The first, Alien Plasma Neo, uses advanced digital editing to show a highly detailed energy being. The second, Plasma Alien, is a gestural painting that focuses on raw emotion. My interest in the 'energy being' theme comes from a lifelong curiosity about forces and life forms beyond what we usually see. I find energies and unseen phenomena fascinating because they represent transformation, vitality, and the mystery at the centre of my creativity. I want to explore how to visually convey inner power and life force, using both digital tools and painting techniques. I like experimenting with different tools to change an artwork. Comparing these two pieces shows how my intent shifts, much as a traditional artist might try out new media and methods. Alien Plasma Neo My first piece, Alien Plasma Neo, was all about hyper-definition and symmetry. I wanted to show this being at its highest energy, even down t...

Darwin streets on a motorcycle: James Hird

Leadership and the scream of fault. It seems to go so slow, Then when it happens, it seems so fast. Once within,' Once within a psychological grip, Once within responsive emergence, Once within reptilian consciousness. The scream of fault, The empathy, the denial, the bloodlet. Only baggage from this point on. Where does James Hird find gain? What responsibilities should I pass onto his burden? How many opinions should he attend to? Within this dangerous intersection of loss. How do leaders gain the necessary abilities to enter and navigate dangerous intersections. Once the path is enacted on, the configuration of artifacts morph. The unseen is then seen. The terms of what I now see are the outputs of Hirds decisions. I have been altered by Hird's decisions I now exert my opinion on Hird's decisions. When does the collective actions stop and reset. When does normality resume control? Within a new place On a new map within a new landscape. A new environment of values ...

Darwin street on a motorcycle: Rapid Creek Intersection

If only intersections in life were as simple. Rule regimentation and certainty of course. But you know that I know, and I know that you know, this passage is about unknowns. The passage is not free, but it is? The passage is directed by unconscious decision making. -STOP- Cars = 1 ton of death It is about time, space and particles smashing. Each particle a death note. The intersection is seemingly passive, under the control of purpose. When error occurs it's a death intersection. If it is so hard to see danger in this intersection, how is it possible within a point in life.

Darwin Streets on a motorcycle: Sprigg

The starting point This is the starting point. However, my starting points are flexible and never reliable. For this reason I have started in the middle. Although a street has a starting and finishing point, the stories of in-between are what I am interested in. There is nothing ordinary in ordinary. You don't have to be a christian to be a christian. You don't have to be an American to feel powerful. You don't have to ride a motorcycle to feel the road. The problem is, there is too much road.
