Description dedicated to the chaos in my life. through my turmoil i see the many facets of me and my world…bright, dark, fluorescent, maddening, calming…and the forces that intrude my space.

***
a collaborative piece by my friend and me. our only guidelines were: no rules. so we followed our instincts and poured out all the mess we harbour in our minds and hearts. and it was a very interesting and ‘intrusive’ experiment working on each other’s drawings, paint splashes, lines…making them our own and then giving them up to the other…all the while moving round and round the canvas

interesting note: this surface was painted from all four sides, for the most part, lying down on the floor (the painting...not us), which perhaps gives it the quality of being viewed from all four sides.

(I'm very lazy at commenting on stuff soooo... sorry! But this really stuck in my head..!)

This really is one of those pieces that you see and then just go away, but the image keeps bugging you till you come back and just fav it! It's the colors that I love... and the wooshes! They look like flowers or faces at the same time?

(Ah... and now I just twisted meh neck like a fool, trying to see it from all sides! XD I think I ought to just save and rotate like someone who commented above just did?)

i saved this image and rotated it arround so i could see all views that you had while painting on it. i still cannot say something about it beside that i like it a lot and because it's dedicated to your chaos i understand it in a way. there's a lot of chaos in my head too and i think today i started to clear it up a bit....

tripping In reply to analog77 [2007-01-22 11:17:32 +0000 UTC]

thats what i did with this painting. i rotated it so many times that i lost track...both on the computer screen and in reali life.
i liked this angle a lot...but i also like it vertical...but i cant explain which side up.
will add to my chaos and yours!
have a cuppa tea

JJJenkins [2007-01-18 02:06:17 +0000 UTC]

Damn I luv your work. Such a beautiful blend of abstraction and surrealism. I see so many different forms and shapes in your work. The colors are so vibrant too...and the composition is dynamic...yet balanced. That splash of orange across the center just cuts right through in such a forceful manner. Rock out!
