I get less of an 'eye' message from this version. In fact, I think the whole piece has changed! Were I asked now I would say that the impression (for me) is one of static houses with lit windows(?) at the lower edge, and frenetic movement (traffic?) above. But I'm sure I'm way off the track! In fact I'm probably 'beyond sequential thought'! I feel I'm looking down from above. But then, there's the moon (sun?). Oh dear, I'm not much good at this. Art appreciation lessons are called-for!
I have just read your poem called BEIGE BEAUTY, of yesterday. In that approach you do not analyze, but address what the colour and the texture of the mosaic piece means to you. This is art appreciation at its best! It is a way of going beyond sequential thought. The title is the clue here.

JANUS - looking backwards and forwards is a Janus trait - for me a way to record the "in between thought", whether in retrospect, or as a notion for the future.
I make original prints, currently etchings. I sometimes write and take photographs. I am inspired by what I see and read.
Although postings are chronologically recorded by date and time in this protocol, the images exhibited, often seen in different stages of production, are from another time. So, with each new posting, earlier postings can undergo revision or amplification as will be noted, or requested.
The addition of a SNAPSHOTS Blog and a VIRGINIA WOOLF Blog are included because my different interests tend to influence what I do as an artist. There will be a Family Blog, too, for the same reason.
