Elements of Design…..

SPACE IS THE BREATH OF ART.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one lineand stuck to it…

LIFE AND DEATH ARE ONE THREAD, THE SAME LINE VIEWED FROM

DIFFERENT SIDES…..

SILENCE REMAINS, INESCAPABLY, A FORM OF SPEECH.

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED MY COLOURS TO SING.

When I see a colour or hear a sound, I am aware of something, and

not of nothing.

Tone has the living

soul….

A SCULPTOR IS A PERSON WHO IS

INTERESTED IN THE SHAPE OF

THINGS, A POET IN WORDS, A MUSICIAN

BY SOUNDS.

I LIKE THE NATURAL ELEMENTS

THAT ABSTRACT INTO LIGHT,

TEXTURE , SHAPE, AND

SHADOW.

Little moments can have a feeling and a texture that is very real.

I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the

third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object.

PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN…..

A PAINTING IS A SYMBOL FOR THE UNIVERSE. INSIDE IT, EACH PIECE RELATES TO THE OTHER. EACH PIECE IS

ONLY ANSWERABLE TO THE REST OF THAT LITTLE WORLD. SO, PROBABLY IN THE TOTAL UNIVERSE, THERE IS

THAT KIND OF TOTAL HARMONY, BUT WE GET ONLY LITTLE TASTES OF IT.

IT IS ONCE AGAIN THE VEXING PROBLEM OF IDENTITY WITHIN VARIETY; WITHOUT A SOLUTION TO

THIS DISTURBING PROBLEM THERE CAN BE NO SYSTEM, NO CLASSIFICATION.

THE GROUND WE WALK ON, THE PLANTS AND CREATURES, THE CLOUDS ABOVE CONSTANTLY

DISSOLVING INTO NEW FORMATIONS - EACH GIFT OF NATURE POSSESSING ITS OWN RADIANT ENERGY, BOUND TOGETHER BY COSMIC HARMONY.

A MAN IS HINDERED AND DISTRACTED IN PROPORTION AS HE DRAWS OUTWARD THINGS TO

HIMSELF.

I WASN'T A CHEERLEADER OR THE PROM

QUEEN. I DON'T MOVE THROUGH THE

WORLD WITH A MIRROR IN FRONT OF MY

FACE, AND I'VE NEVER BEEN ATTRACTED

TO PROJECTS THAT HAD AN EMPHASISON WHAT I LOOK LIKE.

ART IS THE IMPOSING OF A PATTERN ON EXPERIENCE, AND OUR AESTHETIC ENJOYMENT IS

RECOGNITION OF THE PATTERN.

THE UNIVERSE IS ASYMMETRIC AND I AM PERSUADED THAT LIFE, AS IT IS KNOWN TO US , IS A DIRECT RESULT OF

THE ASYMMETRY OF THE UNIVERSE OR OF ITS INDIRECT CONSEQUENCES.

THE UNIVERSE IS BUILT ON A PLAN THE PROFOUND SYMMETRY OF WHICH IS SOMEHOW PRESENT

IN THE INNER STRUCTURE OF OUR INTELLECT.

Fist Pump!

STRENGTH....

Be faithful in small things because it is in them

that your strength lies.

The strength of a dog lies in his loyalty to

his master

As iron is eaten by rust, so are the envious consumed by envy.

Physical strength can never permanently

withstand the impact of spiritual force.

A few minutes ago

every tree was

excited, bowing to

the roaring storm,

waving, swirling,

tossing their

branches in

glorious

enthusiasm like

worship. But

though to the outer

ear these trees are

now silent, their

strength in songs

never cease.

Ants Point of View…..

IF I HAVE NOT SEEN AS

FAR AS OTHERS, IT

ISN’T BECAUSE I

HAVEN'T TRIED

I CAN DO IT, ONE STEP AT A TIME…

GO CONFIDENTLY IN THE

DIRECTION OF YOUR

DREAMS.

HARD WORK DOES PAY WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO GET THINGS DONE ON THE GROUND,

THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT IS THROUGH COOPERATION.

If ants are such busy workers, how come they find time to go to all the picnics?
