Two Sides. Oct 2019

The drawing originates from four distinct points (circles) I set up on the paper to begin the drawing. I call them loci, plural for locus. What I found is this directs me to four separate areas of the paper to draw from. It spreads the formation if you will of how the design will evolve. I draw from each locus, and they in turn take on a life of their own (see Evolving Design Category description). I wait to see how each drawing center will evolve and where the kinship is to the others. In this case the two points on the left side merged together and the two points on the right side merged. I then had a left versus right configuration. I then fully evolved each side, into the “Two Sides” you see as the result. I like to look at each side first and explore what is there, the different forms and events taking place. Then you can look at the two side and ponder – are they in a mutual coexistence based on inclusiveness or is it more of a conflict of interests? I can see individual influences upon the art in different segments of the sides. I see the Monterrey Aquarium, flying Pterodactyls, aircraft and a jet emerging forms, flying men, butterflies docking, the organic evolving Oia (cliffside village in Santorini), and a Japanese Tori (gateway to a Shinto shrine).  And there is the mystery of the three Fleur de Lys. Much to explore and find your own story to be told.
