Sonata for fractalklavierchord

The Bach work that was waiting for the instrument to be constructed. Of course, such a thing can only exist in cyberspace. And no two hearings are ever the same.

Marbled Sierpinski

Despite a persistent creative block, I managed to find this fresh twist to one of the great fractal icons.

Illuminati tablet

Ancient piece of stonework discovered somewhere close to the Caspian Sea, demonstrating the venerable duration of the Illuminati lineage. The curious markings are thought to originate from the application of some kind of key. Such a device has not yet been found, although rumours concerning its whereabouts abound in underground Occult circles, as do conjectures relating to what will happen, should the thing be found and applied. Permission to forcibly excavate the tablet is expressly denied. A band of prospectors once attempted to remove the tablet under cover of darkness. The condition of their remains, discovered the next morning, has never been divulged publicly in any detail, but the incident has served to maintain a natural security around this fascinating artifact.

Subcellular (diptych)

Revisiting the flipped disc style to see what else can be done. The diptych is a natural effect arising from the use of a polar final transform with this style, in conjunction with 2 quite different patterning transforms.

Frame in PhotoFiltre, dividing line added in Paint.NET.

Flight trip home

sunset bird flight
home to roost
dance the still quiet air bright
with beating wings
and colours of the evening mind

More Apophysis abstraction and first outing for the taurus variation, scrawling its distinctive markings across the quadri-transformed canvas.

The dance

Waltz? Tango? Salsa? You decide.

Revisiting the stained glass style to discover new possibilities lurking within its framework.

The alphabet factory

Churning out identikit letters to spell more pointless words. What's new? ;)

Nightfall

A return to that abstract painting look that I'm keen to explore.

Apophysis flame, sharpened in IrfanView for the textured feel and framed in PhotoFiltre.

Kiss

Wildness with the plastic style.

Colourdance

Masterfully-sculpted perspex backlit by parping* colours.

Full view essential.

*my coinage, a kind of synaesthetic onomatopoeic sound-to-light transfer!

The fresh flowers of Spring

Something a bit more full-on fractal in style. A looking forward at this transitional time.

But these things also are Spring's -
On banks by the roadside the grass
Long-dead that is greyer now
Than all the Winter it was;

The shell of a little snail bleached
In the grass; chip of flint, and mite
Of chalk; and the small birds' dung
In splashes of purest white:

All the white things a man mistakes
For earliest violets
Who seeks through Winter's ruins
Something to pay Winter's debts,

While the North blows, and starling flocks
By chattering on and on
Keep their spirits up in the mist,
And Spring's here, Winter's not gone.

- But These Things Also by Edward Thomas

The ring

Yes, it looks a bit like a nipple. Yes, it's slightly eccentric. I don't care: it's intended ;P This does odd things to me. Experimentation with Tri_boarders2.

A quadrilateral approach to time

Foursquare. The juxtapostion of an infinitude of temporally-representative i-frames. The human brain, given free rein, reigns free.

Minimal post-work in IrfanView for contrast/brightness/sharpness.

The Plan

Looking somewhere between a telephone engineer's wet nightmare and the London A-Z around the Tottenham Court Road area, The Plan is a curious pictorial record of the relationships and otherwise between all major thought systems and the various groups and factions they have spawned over the millennia of human existence. Complete understanding confers complete power. Damned if I know where to start.

The ' p ' is psilent ;) Bless those wrecked angles, how they etch and stain!

Hot off the press in some kind of ecstatic delirium...
