A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.

"dread is the dizziness of freedom"
"we inevitably fall into sin and guilt whenever lofty possibility meets earthly limitations."
Artist & Best Friends Animal Sanctuary founder, Cyrus Mejia's show Pits & Perception opened in Los Angeles @ Artology 101 in Glendale. There were several live pit bulls in attendance at the festivities.
From cyrusmejia.com/art/pits-and-perception
"Art can present us with a different view, a new perspective, another way of thinking about things. In this series of paintings of Pit Bulls I’m challenging the current-day perception of these dogs. Not by changing their image, but by depicting them close-up, larger than life, and inviting the viewer to question how they see and perceive Pit Bulls."

Folded from a single uncut square, this model reveals different symbols depending on your angle — English E, mathematical ∃ (“there exists”), Cyrillic ш (“sh”), Georgian ო (“o”).
Each viewer insists their view is correct, trapped in a deadlock of perception. Yet all emerge from the same source — the same square.
It’s a reflection on how meaning, identity, and language are shaped by perspective and limited knowledge.
Inspired by ideas from Advaita Vedanta, Buddhist śūnyatā, Spinoza’s monism, Berkeley’s idealism, and a touch of postmodern relativism (language games, signs/symbols) — suggesting that beneath all interpretations and creases lies a single uncut truth: the sheet itself. Hence the need for empathetic understanding and tolerance.
I didn’t expect it to go so deep — I was simply trying to fold a visual pun, like the 6 vs 9 meme. But it turned into my most layered model ever, blending origami with semiotics, philosophy, and linguistics. I've butchered the logical syntax for the sake of art though.
Designed and folded by me from a single uncut square of tracing paper.
Sheet size: 25 cm x 25 cm
Final size: 5 cm x 5 cm
32-grid BP
Inspired by Wahid Aüfi Zammu's work
Very happy with the result.
If this symbol has any other interpretation for you, please share! (Apart from English W or number 3)
Could be linguistic or anything else.
Hope you all like it too.
{Please note: my understanding of these concepts is naive at best — I’m just playing with ideas here!}
A view from a spy hole from a room at the Holiday Inn Armouries Dr Leeds. If you must know it was from room 420. I used a normal compact camera and placed the lens flush against the spy hole, no flash and this was the result.
Like everyone I have 'tourist' photos.. :)
Cool peacock fashion statue thing outside Tangs in Singapore last year.
The worlds tallest freestanding structure on land, the CN Tower
is one of the most visited landmarks in North America.
In the midst of downtown urban Toronto, you may stumble upon this remarkable peninsula.
The Leslie St. Spit stretches out 5 km into Lake Ontario, near downtown. This is a car-free park, that is one of the city’s most unique jewels. With walking, running, and cycling trails, stunning cityscape views of the C.N. Tower, and surrounding skyscrapers, Toronto Harbour and some vegetation and wildlife, rare to find anywhere else in Canada. The Spit was originally intended to be a breakwater for harbour expansion, started 40 years ago. If you are visiting the city and looking for something interesting or living in the city and need some of nature’s R&R, give the Leslie St. Spit a tour. You will not be disappointed.
For more info visit Friends of the Spit
We visited this park on an extremely wet and moody day in the city. We watched a thunderstorm descend upon Toronto from the peninsula, completely engulfing the CN Tower and then we watched it aim for us with it’s evil stormy laser sight and drench us from head to toe, not once, but twice. A friendly shuttle driver picked us up on the way back, and I could have kissed him I was so wet and miserable. Hope you enjoy these soggy pictures.

It is when we visit a place that sometimes colours our perception of it. I say that because of all the churches and fine buildings we visited on our holiday in July, that this one left the biggest impression on Julie and myself.
It was a wonderfully hot day, too hot some might say, in Edinburgh, and we had just about had it and were thinking of going home, when we saw the church ahead of us, so decided to go in.
Light was streaming in through all the windows on the southside, and those windows seemed to leave no room for walls. It was a church of light.
And what wonderful light, colouled with the most incredible ceiling and the warm welcome we received upon entering, and the clear pride that there is in this fine building.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Church of St John the Evangelist, or St John's, lies on the south side of Edinburgh's Princes Street, at its very western end where it meets Lothian Road. At the bustling heart of Edinburgh, the church overlooks one of the busiest junctions in the city, making the contrast when you step inside still more remarkable.
St John's is in the diocese of Edinburgh of the Scottish Episcopal Church. The Scottish Episcopal Church had its origins in 1582 when the national Church of Scotland rejected government by bishops (episcopal government) in favour of government by elders (presbyterian government).
This was no minor matter in the 1600s when James VI/I and Charles I tried to enforce rule by bishops on the Church of Scotland (thus bringing it into line with the Church of England), resulting directly in the two "Bishops' Wars" between England and Scotland, effectively the opening act of the 20-year Wars of the Three Kingdoms that included the English Civil War and the Cromwellian occupation of Scotland that followed.
Following the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, Charles II tried again to impose bishops on Scotland. After James VII/II. was deposed (largely because of his Catholicism) by William and Mary in 1689, the Church of Scotland was allowed to become fully presbyterian, and the displaced bishops refused to recognise the new regime, supporting instead the "legitimate" (albeit Catholic) King James VII/II, giving the church a common cause with the Jacobites who sought to retake the throne on a number of occasions until 1745. Over time, the Scottish Episcopal Church freed itself of its Jacobite overtones and became a separate church, part of the world-wide Anglican Communion.
The building of St John's started in 1816 on the site of what had previously been a council-owned market garden. It cost £18,000, and the finished church was consecrated on Maundy Thursday, 19 March 1818. St John's was designed by the eminent architect, William Burn, in the perpendicular Gothic style. During construction the size of the church was increased from seven bays to eight. In January 1818 a storm blew down the open lantern that originally sat atop the tower of the still uncompleted church, which was not replaced.
Since 1818, the church has changed significantly on a number of occasions. In 1882 the original flat wall at the east end was removed, being replaced by a magnificent chancel built out into what had previously been part of the burial ground. A church hall was added to the south east of the church in 1916, and a beautiful chapel was built onto the south side of the chancel in 1935.
But in many ways, the most important changes were made between 1857 and 1861 when many of the original, plain glass, windows in the aisles were replaced with the magnificent collection of stained glass on show today. These were the work of the Edinburgh studio of Ballantyne and Allan. In 1882 Ballantyne's son added two further stained glass windows in the aisles; and Ballantyne's grandson added two more in 1930, and the stained glass window in the chapel in 1935.
The only stained glass not locally sourced were the windows inserted when the chancel was built in 1882, which came from two different London studios. What you see in St John's today is one of the finest collections of stained glass in Scotland, made all the more vivid by the removal and restoration of all the windows over the ten years up to 1995, during which time the exterior stonework of the church was also cleaned.
The interior of St John's could be a world away from the busy streets that lie just beyond its walls. The most striking feature is the plaster ceiling vault, which was inspired by King Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey, London. This is wonderfully complex and ornate. As is the chancel, which is perhaps the second feature that draws your attention on entering the church. The combination of the dark wood fittings, the dark stone used in the arch, the windows, and the ornate ceiling give an effect from the nave like looking through a door into another world.
The chapel to the south of the chancel is beautiful and intimate, and its window is especially striking as you feel closer to it than you do to those in the aisles or chancel.
Stepped down from the south side of the church is St John's terrace. This is home to the Cornerstone Cafe; the Cornerstone Bookshop, an Ecumenical not-for-profit bookshop; the Edinburgh Peace & Justice Centre; and the OneWorld Shop, a fair trade shop established in 1983. Access is via the external steps near the south west corner of the church, on Lothian Road.
In this exceptional amalgamation of photography, ai, and painting, Duncan Rawlinson’s work claims the spotlight. Strikingly rich hues pirouette across the intricate representation of an eye, composing a vibrant symphony that rivets the observer. Each precise brush stroke, imbued with influences from both photorealism and hyperrealism, crafts an enthralling fusion of styles. The piece stands as a testament to the power of creative vision, striking a perfect balance between art and the human gaze, enticing viewers into a realm that resonates with personal depth and universal appeal. Ultimately, this creation by Rawlinson isn’t merely an image of an eye—it serves as a portal into the artist’s soul.
"Perception and experience alike inform us, that the earth we inhabit is an island: since wherever men have approached the termination of the land, the sea, which we designate ocean, has been met with: and reason assures us of the similarity of those places which our senses have not been permitted to survey."

“It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive.”
C. W. Leadbeater
Things that are, may not be perceived.
Every thing in life needs a closer look. When you do take the time, you'll realize wondrous things.
