The Template

The crossword
is not born a puzzle,
it is but a template
yet filled as whole

Its pattern is born undetermined,
a fossil of a form,
pliable yet void of clues
to hint at the truth
of its undiscovered
internal code

It lives within a womb
alive yet bare-still
connected to the page
by an umbilical destiny
it's yet to claim as its own

A design in search of order
A destiny whose fate's determined
only by the characters etched by the
pencil's shade

The crossword
is not born a puzzle,
it is but a template
with desires all its own

Its every cell is born with a multitude of purpose
Its outline, a skeleton unable to communicate on its own

It searches for the perfect
words to imprint meaning,
that completes the voids crafted by space and time

It is alive, yet it will not know why
until its hollow frame is complete with a
perfect built in verse.

A Visual Triptych and it's Distorted Kin

This piece I thought I'd try a visual Triptych, which is three images, which, when put together tells either a story, an emotion or image.

This piece is an abstraction of the Triptych.  The Triptych's cipher, which now is but left to remain hidden beneath the distortion field, a field I like to think of as a neural network amped up, firing much too fast.

Fractured Chasms of The Soul

Dark Mysteries of The Deep

Ascending Through Scenes Gathered

I took an earlier piece and played with it a bit.  I wanted to create a scene where you have a stain glass type background off set by a cluster of chaos and in between a cloud-like spiral staircase rising above it all.

Don't Put Baby In A Corner…err…triangle or Berzerk LIfe Triangle

The New World Creative Union has restarted their very cool mid-week prompt, The Wednesday Wake Up Call. This week Roger's opened up the floor for any artistic medium.  The Prompt is to create something using, yellow, green, blue and Lilac, along with incorporating triangles, Peace and a Baby.  As you can tell I went abstract, go figure right.  I added a little black into the picture so the metaphor could work.

Make sure you stop on over and see what everyone's created, and the link will be open for a few more days, so get inspired and join in the fun.

The Hunt for Easter Eggs

For this piece
I purposely distorted the Easter Eggs, and I did this for a couple of reasons.

1.  I love abstraction
2.  In addition to paying homage to the Easter holiday, I wanted to incorporate the metaphorical term, Easter Egg, which is used in certain video Games.   The Easter Eggs in video games can be objects, codes that a player either hunts for and finds or accidentally stumbles upon.  In these eggs, a new level, some special attribute etc..is found…

I feel they add an extra dimension to the game-play but they also provide the metaphor for those things hidden below the surface, below the exterior.  Those things which are either hidden and must be sought out or are items that one can never find unless they happen to stumble across them.  Anyhow, Happy Easter to everyone
