An exploration of the liminal space between the organic and the mechanical. My original paintings depict the instinctive process of "embedding" into an alternate reality.
Here, glass and bronze merge with living matter, and devices designed to teleport consciousness perform irreversible manipulations of perception. This is a world where biology is completely subordinated to surreal engineering.

In life we have to navigate between reality and our perception of it. This image is looking straight up into the sky from under a huge Cherry Blossom tree in full bloom during the day. What alters the perception of reality is the keen focus on the midday Sun in the center of the image from under the shadow of the tree. However, the reality is I was standing under a beautiful sea of pink Cherry Blossoms in full bloom, but the perception is that it was dark and colorless with the exception of a single brilliant light above, that being the Sun. We have the ability to change focus and greatly adjust our perception of reality. Tidal Basin, Washington DC, 8 April 2018.
The 18th century, the age of Enlightenment is marked by the modernist ideal of ultimate perception. The telescope which was increasingly used in this era was a means of unlimited perception from the below and of the above, whilst the Eiffel Tower which was built a century later was the medium of unlimited perception from the above and of the below.
This photo is part of my series "The birth of Aphrodite", which you can view in my list of albums. By viewing the images in chronological order, and reading the script for the series in the album header, you can reconstruct one of the mythological versions of Aphrodite's origins and a sketch of her first steps in the mortal world.
Aphrodite is one of the most famous figures of ancient Greek religion: the goddess of love.

GhostWorks Texture Competition #49
Texture with thanks to Skeletal Mess
This image just kept getting darker and darker... but that's not really where I wanted it to go. So I thought I'd find a poem or something to explain darkness in the image, so I started to look up the word sorrow but instead came across a wonderful bit of conversation between two sisters - Marianne and Elinor in the novel Sense and Sensibility - where Marianne is caught up in the fabulous whirl of leaves as they fall... and her sister is... should we say.... not! Sisters!! :))
Photo and one of the texture is my own, the other texture is courtesy of SkeletalMess
Està la petjada enfonsada o en relleu? i la roca? ara gira la foto (o el teu cap) 180º i torna-la a mirar!
Està la huella hundida o en relieve? y la roca? ahora gira la foto (o tu cabeza) 180º y vuelve a mirarla!
Is the footprint bumped? and the rock? now rotate the photo (or your head) 180º and look again!

A Yin/Yang Perception of Opposites
Tao Te Ching -:- Verse 2
====================================
When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
====================================
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also, yin-yang or yin yang) describes how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, and male and female) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as in the pages of the I Ching written in 1,000 BC and before.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. The yin yang shows a balance between two opposites with a little bit in each.
In Daoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

By measuring starlight - specifically, the color and brightness - astronomers have determined that our Milky Way has about 100 billion stars in its system. Using the Milky Way as a model, astronomers have multiplied the number of stars in a typical galaxy (100 billion) by the number of galaxies in the known universe (2 trillion). The result is an absolutely astounding number of approximately 200 billion trillion stars in our known universe. Given that the earth’s star (the sun) has eight planets revolving around it, one of which has humans on it. Is it reasonable to believe that human beings here on the planet earth are the only beings in existence?

"Depth Perception (2):" I took this photo last year in a remote area of the Hassayampa River. The water in which I was standing when I was shooting was already knee deep. If you look closely into the water, just beyond the rocks in the foreground, you may see that there is a sudden drop-off into a bowl-like chasm, the depth of which I did not want to measure myself. Instead, I stopped and enjoyed the reflections of the colorful rock patterns across this watery abyss.
