RE: Faces beneath my feet

in OCD5 years ago (edited)

Part of my art process at times involved this phenomena. I could spend an hour or more simply smearing colors in all directions, attempting to be as random as humanly possible. Waiting for them to arrive. Once they showed up, I'd finish the job.

Random as humanly possible might not be that random, if you are a determinist :)

I have occasionally tried to trace my thoughts to see their origin. Sometimes it is easy, generally it is impossible. I think art can be used as part of that processing of our surroundings, driven into thought and then presented.

One can learn to lose control, efficiently.

I think that is the art of it.

How many faces can you spot here? I'm seeing four, two pairs facing each other on both sides of the painting and the two that stand out is the one to the far left looking like Star War's Darth Plagueis looking at a young Luke Skywalker to the far right side. The two faces in the middle could be Darth Maul on the left followed by Han Solo to the right.

More than four.
