Description
... I have been moving away from drawing nonobjective patterns like this ... so I,m not sure what I think of this. Ultimately pieces like this are more meaningful for me while making them and feel a little empty when I step back and view them. ....Maybe it is as simple as they are a personal experience.... but I wonder if they are a communication and if they are, what.
Sometimes I will view my DA gallery and try to pretend I am seeing it for the first time..... as someone other than me....
It doesn't work all that well......

Very interesting abstract drawing (so much is going on and nice job with all the little details)

I really like what's going on with the "bleed" effect.. it adds a random element to your already fractal patterning and textures. I see motifs relating to Chinese porcelain and particle physics, electron microscopy and deep space. I can't say what it communicates specifically, but it's a lusciously textured visual environment; - satisfying and rewarding to look at... and I think that should be enough, I'm not too troubled by the "what does it mean" question.

I discovered that my pen was susceptible to water and so I started playing around with a spray bottle .... for some reason it is fun to spend hours drawing something really detailed ... and then introduce an element that could destroy it.... Some pieces have been lost
You know, I don't think too much about the whole what does it mean with other peoples work.... but with my own ???? I could frame my mindset in a positive way and say I pick my work apart because I think of it in terms of a learning experience.... BUT... it is probably more true that I am self conscious and never satisfied with what I do .... I guess that can be good or bad depending on what I do with that dissatisfaction.

yes, self-criticism is good, as long as it doesn't become crippling
