Description FULL TITLE: "The Nine Chasms of Incanscently Pointless Human Living" -- February 2006 | Sketchbook Assigment | 2 hours

Kudos for meaningless abstract watercolor experiments with huge deep-sounding titles!

I was bored, apathetic, and depressed while doing this.

MEDIUM: Watercolor + Thin-tip (O.O5 pen) + Gel pen + string + painted cut pajamas

anything with pajamas earns my respect.

id say, the bottom half of the right side is quite beautiful... the top half doesnt seem the play with colours cohesively, and is slightly a diress for the eyes, considering line.

but the bottom half and its flowing into the left pane... splendid. colours clash, but only enough to grasp your attention, while the images almost seem to say something, tell a story. i think people miss that point about abstract work... theres always a story.

thanks for the constructive criticism. =]

I suppose, yes.

Art always has a story.

But I have to say that a lot of my experimental abstract art, doesn't have an intentional story stuck to it as I make it. I just focus on the colors and the shape, unity and other elements like that, not quite focusing on the meaning.

I don't really understand how abstract art could have a story though...

but colors could be like words.
some colors are warm, some colors are cold, and some shapes are sharp, and some are round.

yes, i suppose it could be a story, but would have to be interpretted differently depending on the person.

you misunderstodd what i meant... i siad every piece of art has a story... i didnt say has a meaning... or a particular story... it may be an unconcious meaning, or it may be the story behind the inspiration, or behind the process itself... what i meant was, that there is something to be found in every artpiece, even if it is finding it yourself in the principles of design, or in your interpretation...

Hah. that makes more sense, thanks for sharing this with me.


Oh yes, and the whole thing in out collab poem about the young you falling off the bunkbed on the bus was because that was how i interpretted your last addition.


"of a mouth full of moons

the grainy whisper says,

before losing leaning beds,

look me in the eyes instead.
"

i don't know if this is the interpretation you are intending but i just thought that it meant that you told me, to look you in the eyes instead, just moments before you fall off the bunk bed (losing leaning beds), so my most recent addition was just about you falling off bunkbeds.
And I know that they are bunk beds, and you were on the top bunk, and i was on the bottom bunk because you said that one face (assuming it is you) is in the firmament, and the second (assuming it is me) is watching wildly from treescape/random plants.

and the last verse of my recent addition was all written while the plane from WA to Alberta was landing, and I was on Canada the moment I wrote the last line. =]

Just felt like I had some explaining to do.

haha... well, that is not exactly how i envisioned it, but that is great! i love your slight differences in interpretation.

and that last line is key, almost a perfect ending... but i dont want it to end. so i will continue anyway. haha.

haha. yes.. please continue!

This is like prositry.
Poetry mixed with just the right amount of prose, and I adore the indirectness and surrealism in both of our writing styles.

It is just so skyboundlessly poetically spifftastically beautiful. =]

Such spontaneity unleashes such three-dimentional worlds of nostalgia.

did you cut a whole in the sketch book?

I cut a hole through 17 pages of the sketchbook, and that same hole went through the table, and through my carpet, and throuhg my bedroom floor, through the downstairs ceiling & the dining table downstairs through the carpet, through all the furnitures in teh basement, through the soil, the earth's crust, the earth's mantle, outercore, innercore, outercore, innercore, mantle, crust, and into Keller Texas. Except that this Keller is where china is supposed to be.

That does not make sense, but it's true!

so there should be a hole in the white thing that you go pody in.


So next time you see that hole, or pee in that hole, you must think of me!

For i created it!

And the northern end of that hole isthe one you see in this deviation! that is why it's so pitch black and dark down there!

Good to know I've been pissing all over your sadness.

but your pee doesn't reach my sadness.

It only goes partially. When your pee runs through the soil-shaped hole, it gets sucked up by the plants.

So your just watering the plants and the soil and the earth.


You cannot get your pee to seattle.
