In this image, for example, I could say I see the darkness and corruption floating away from an old miserable body to join that of the rest of the over
The issue there is that I also see blobs of thick ink-like liquid that I can only describe as sludge, falling from the 'sky' back to the Earth.
So I can't place any really meaning here, and I'm not sure there really even is, but the image certainly got me thinking~
example: i could draw a modern man reading from the book of knowledge and shooting a poor child in the face. but that's way too obvious, and polarizing. so instead i might draw a grotesque slobbering king gorging himself on apples while being supported by slaves. it says the same thing, but leaves room for those who don't want to see the truth, to see something else. also, it requires some creativity from the viewer to see past its face value.
my process usually doesn't work that way. sometimes i like polarizing my art, other times, pieces like this just pop out with no intent. you give them meaning. so, i'm thrilled that it made you think! i could hope for no better result.
thank you.
This is exactly how I feel about smokers sometimes. I usually don't mind them, but sometimes I can almost see the deadly, sticky, thick smoke everywhere.
