Description
2015153x83x25cm
Seventh in the "Fractures" series.
The importance of finding purpose to one's existence cannot be overstated. I feel I have found mine and intend to do my very best with this blessing. I've noticed that when making art, I feel truly alive. So alive, in fact that I can almost feel my self dying... Slowly withering away in the clutches of time towards the inevitable. First time I noticed it (only thrice overall) I almost teared up a bit. I feel I would never stumble upon such beautiful insight during the daily grind.
A while ago a friend spotted a juried exhibition with a theme of "Death" for me and I decided participate and expand upon these feelings. I will be submitting this piece and let you all know how it turns out!
Also, I filmed the making of this piece from start to finish. If you're interested in that sort of thing, head on to my YouTube channel www.deviantart.com/users/outgo… and subscribe so you don't miss it!
I intend to make videos of most of my future creations.Ingredients:

Title for this piece is a respectfully re-purposed bit of lyric from a Gojira song called "The way of all flesh".

EDIT: Here it finally is! A three part video documenting the actualization of this piece from start to finish! Enjoy!

sheared hair of an albino, mixed in plaster, knitted and snarled across the canvas, like a wilting spider's web. a gritty dimension of black pipes and dark construction, a deeper well that the magic of albino threads climb toward as a strangling white weed, hungry. all in vain, the black goes on and on, beyond sight and impenetrable.
