In mid 2009, I started thinking about the possibility of creating something along the abstractness of the 2006 piece, "Thoughts", but more detailed and evolved. I wasn't planning on making anything too colorful as before, but ended using more color than originally anticipated.
I started it in early 2009, a year and 3 months later, it was finished. It was a massive undertaking for me. All the gray areas are really, really fine lines that you can not see without zooming in or seeing it up close in person. I didn't keep count, but there are a lot of fine strokes. I would like to know some day what the official count is.
Any volunteers? . .
The title and art, is an abstract representation of a maturing on consciousness and curiosity. You can see at the top middle there is an illuminated circle, . . that is initial life and innocence. Innocence approaching an egg shaped "U", and thus born into life and or consciousness. Spread out into a grand consciousness of life and experience. Some areas are dark, depicting struggle, the lighter areas are positive curiosity manifested after initial struggle. Eventually, Peace of Mind and Consciousness via the struggles of our own Curiosity.
