A selection from Wrecked Tangles (Encircled) W series

Here are a few examples of some of my art from the Wrecked Tangles (Encircled) W series. I put this project off for a while again, and yet tonight I stoked up some more sub-series. I used some of the panels I created physically from the Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube -- Always -- project in these three works you see here. I plan on finishing the W series before the end of April, and I may post some of that work on Flickr. Keep an eye out for unexpected creativity, as it rarely happens on assembly lines.

Always (the title of the finished Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube)

Here are some pictures of the the completed project of the Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube. I now officially title it "Always." It should be apparent that it is pointing in all six directions on a three dimensional axes, therefore it really is all ways. It's also a symbolic expression of zero-point energy interpenetrating all points in the universe. As I said in some tweets on Twitter, this work has layers of text, graphics and pastel composed on each plane. This is to symbolically represent the lies, suppression, and illusions that the corporate/state owned media manufactures for the masses to digest and not think about reality.

Thank you all for your interest in this now finally completed project. Someone suggested making a three dimensional helicopter in this style, so you just might see that as an upcoming project. In the meanwhile, I will probably make another painting for the Paranormal Portrait Project, or I might embark on finishing an already prepared semi-three-dimensional work to hang on a wall. We'll see!

Sincerely,

Constructing the Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube...

Here is some more of an idea of what I'm doing while constructing this Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube. You see those planes I showed you a few examples of in the last blog post pasted together around the center cube. I finally have the whole thing pasted and pinned together. I now need to paste printouts and texts on to the wooden axes rods, and put cardboard constructed pointers on the ends of them. Then I can stick them through the middle of the cube in the center of this piece.

As I mentioned before, this object is intended to be hung from the ceiling. I suppose anyone who purchases this work of art can do anything they want with it. It looks interesting as coffee table piece. Nevertheless, I plan on putting a ring through the top axes so I can attach a chain to it for hanging on a hook on the ceiling. I'll have take a few pictures of this project when it's finished and show all of you, my wonderful followers, and even you vengeful talk-show hosts.

Love,

Making the Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube...

What you see here is some of the examples of the work I've already completed for this particular three dimensional object. Actually it's going to end up being a hyper-cube as can only be expressed in three dimensions. The top image was made as a preliminary sketch for the project. In the lower left hand corner of that sketch you can see a thumbnail of the 3D hyper-cube. The next image you see is what I have already completed as far as the core of the cube is concerned. The last four images you see are the planes that will be glued on to each corner/side of the cube. This will create square openings for all six sides of the cube. Axes go through the center of the cube pointing in all six directions. They will have pointers on the ends of them when I'm done. This object is meant to be hung from the ceiling as a sort of interesting ornament one normally never sees.

Among Others 8

Among Others 8

Here is the eighth version of Among Others. Feel free to enjoy the colors, the shapes and the surprising manipulations I was able to create using Photoshop to make variations of one picture. To remind the viewer, I create the original image using natural media. I paste the pages from old books together and prime them. Then I start adding cut-outs. Then I draw with pastels on the surface and finish it up with magic marker. I then scan the finished picture on to the computer, and, from there, I use filters and adjustments to manipulate new variations. I even add more text often using the text tool in Photoshop to continue an evolution of the image. This also allows me to voice any kind of message I want to associate with the image. Thanks again for your viewership!

Among Others 1

Among Others 1

Because earlier versions of this template are called the DuBois sub-series, I was going to title this image DuBois 12. I added text to this image and the latin "et al.", which means "and others." The texts are my own quotes I made on my account with Twitter. This is something I want to continue doing in my creations of art. I would use other peoples' quotes, but I'm not interested in plagiarizing. I know I can cite an author in APA format, but I want to use as much of my own creative process as I can in the creation of artwork. The top quote is a remark in the negative, and the quote on the right is more of a positive statement of what an individual can do with hers and his fellow brothers and sisters of the world in an effort to change things for the better. As visual compositions have balances, so do remarks, statements, and philosophies. DuBois, by the way, was a civil rights activist who fought against the Jim Crow laws of his time, and fought against racism and imperialism in general in America during the 1900s.

Remove The Bolts 1

Remove The Bolts 1

Here is a new version for my Wrecked Tangles (Encircled) W series. It's called Remove The Bolts because I removed a page from an old repair manual for a Ford Mustang (1979 - 1993), and integrated it into a digital collage with pieces from Wrecked Tangle W1. Are there deeper messages in this one? The only thing I can think of right now that might indicate a deeper message is the fact that some text from the other side of the page from the repair manual bled through so you can make some of it out. I'm all for the subconscious communication phenomena when making art. Sometimes I can see messages or words associated with synchronistic events in my dreams or throughout my day.

Relationships with things or people is the reality pretty much all of us experience. Giving visual form and color to our myriad of relationships would tend to "bleed through" into the creation of art, I sincerely believe. I feel more of a sense of accomplishment and command after I work something out on the picture plane. It is a similar feeling to putting words to one's dreams, feelings, and experiences with relationships. A sense of clear-headedness is felt, and a feeling of being in command of oneself. Thank you, again, for your viewership and unconscious support!
