Smoke Gallery Solo Exhibition ~ A Beginning, with Writing
Conceptual foundation ~
A continuation and further exploration of the following themes and bodies of work:
~ the crossover. a crossover of relationships. where does one life cross over the next? where is the dividing line? what elements are in each separate space and which are shared, merging together? what is on the crossover line itself (or plane, or higher dimensional dividing entity)?
[crossover ribbony lines]
The crossover lines are ribbon-like, become so visually as they are realized / rendered / explored.
Add: additional crossing-over lives and influencing relationships. Becomes an interaction between multiple "personae" - things...
[sketch of more crossover ribbony lines, beginning to look more like floaty DNA strands]
Add: Forces.
