Inner Life



Well, I seem to be into tiny things lately. This one, created this morning, I call "Inner Life." This took about 2 hours. The inked area is 8" in diameter. As with other pieces, I never know what they will be. We all see different things -- and that's the beauty of art. I see an "inner life" as depicted by what appears to be a very closeup view of (maybe) brain activity. The very center bold "convolutions" with their accompanying fine lines look like some sort of mini-brain part. Surrounding them, and still in the center of the amoeba-like structure, are very active structures. They seem "lit up" as noted by their pin point "explosions" or "successful connections." There appear to be 3 surrounding structures each of which are highly integrated with various important pathways for what could be thoughts happening. The outer bold lines look like a highly magnified tissue structure into which we see this "inner life" going on. More details on this drawing will come later.

"Inner Life" - Image 1 of 4 Above: Full view, 8 inches in circular diameter. About 3 inches of white space is available. This piece was drawn on archival illustration board (as with most recent pieces). Media is technical pen -- about 5 tips were used.
