Sometime images just appear like a stranger before you

n

n

here as the background was being created the image appeared.

n

Sometime that which is not said creates more of an impact

n

n

There is a stillness even in the confusion

This is my latest creation I haven’t got a name for it, are there any suggestions?

n

What I wanted to attempt with this piece is to get the central cube to hover.

nn

I have always been drawn towards designs and images that play with the perception of space within my mind.

n

When I wore a younger mans clothes  I remember I visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam

n

there I saw an unassuming work of art. Remarkable in the fact

n

that when you walked past it, it gave the illusion

n

that there was a fly in the room.

n

The artist and the title have long since passed out of mind

n

but the image has stayed with me a truly powerful experience.

n

As I walk down this path called life I oft heard

n

it said that that artist or that piece of work

n

was to me so spiritual and moving.  Am I blind, why has nothing moved me so, setting up a vibration of understanding

n

and appreciation?

n

I can appreciate technical ability

n

I can appreciate the energy and effort to compile the work,

n

I can appreciate that it is clever,

n

I can comprehend the technical nuances

n

and yet sometime I find it difficult to engage emotionally

n

that is until  I came across the outstanding work

n

of Fred Sandbach August 29, 1943 – June 23, 2003

n

a minimalist that really altered the space within my head

n

.all with little pieces of wool

n
