My Playful Fantasy project

Project type

Experimental

Date

2020

Location

Lord Howe Island

I have created my own method of a creative exercise that I enjoy doing time to time. First I hand paint the larger sheet of paper then I cut it up to a postcard size pieces. I take each card at a time and start to gaze it till I see how some abstract fields start to remind me of something and then I try to draw it out. Often when you gaze long enough you can start seeing a whole narrative there and the picture is born that you never thought to make. But why do we see what we see? Have you thought how different people are able to see different things in life? How much do we need to correct each other in how we see the world or situation around us? How much do we need to reflect each other or how distant should we keep? How often do you recognise your own thoughts or thinking patterns consciously, where do they point? How much is a picture able to make you think? An image as such? Are you with yourself? Are you manipulated? Are you programming yourself a certain way? Why are you seeing the things you are seeing?
