I think of a daisy losing its petals after a struggle with a bee, but still dreaming despite her pain. Really really powerful whichever way anyone looks at it. You know you're good when people can make this there own situation when they see it.

I think people just apply their own experiences or ideas to what they see when the meaning isn't clearly spelled out for them, shapes and colours have connotations which are different for everyone so an abstract piece is really just like a kick to get the viewer's imagination working, then they'll see whatever they want to.

this is great.... right now i happen to be sad so when i looked at your piece it reminded me of a shot to the heart.

It's strange how colour and form can have that kind of effect on our feelings. Do you think that's innate or is it something we learn?
Thank you

i think it can be both learned and also innate. Like, for example- i said that your piece reminded me of a shot to the heart (this is learned becuase i have watched tv and what not and now i know what i bullet wound might look like)- at the same time though i feel that certain colors and shapes can affect us differently. Something dark vs. something bright- a soft round line vs. a harsh one all have different effects within us. so, yeah. there you go- i think its a little bit of everything put together!

Ok, that makes sense. Do you think either the learned or the inate is more powerful, I me could you learn something which contradicts an inate feeling and means that when you see certain colours there's like a conflict in your mind for which connotations are stronger?

i think that we could certainly learn things which contradict inate feelings- the catholic church has managed to do that to us for quite some time now (teaching us to deny certain primal emotions so that a conflict arises within us when nature and nurture collide, such as with sex for example). I think that ultimately the inate, our nature, is strongest- but the learned or nurture can be quite powerful as well. A person could be taught something that is embedded in their mind so strongly that it takes a lot to break away from that and truly follow what they feel. Certainly a conflict would arise within them- but i believe that, although some may not want to accept it, such a conflict arises because ultimately our nature is clawing its way out- fighting to be heard- and it will win.

I agree, our natural instincts are there for a reason and that's why trying to smother them with applied ideas doesn't always work and causes a conflict to arise. At an animal level our purpose (and therefore key desires) are: to stay alive and to procreate, but the learned is powerful enough for us to deny urges which support these desires and to even give ideas that such desires are 'wrong' value. It is a very interesting state of affairs that as a species we have developed a society that is counter-productive in that having multiple sexual partners is frowned upon and celibacy is demanded of certain religious people. Perhaps this is a sub-conscious product of the continuing rise in population to levels where it has trouble sustaining itself.

wow very intense.... I want to keep staring at it
Awesome work, its nice to see stuff on DA that makes you want to think about the work and interpret it instead of just going "oh its so pretty!"

Thank you very much
It is, anything which can create a feeling from the viewer is good, although I'm sure every artist would say that their work has meaning.
Thanks for the fave and for commenting

where about's do you live? cause something like that would be very easy to organise in lincoln if your up for it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd love that but I'm right down near Brighton, there's no way I'd get my work to Lincoln. Reason number 12 on the list of why I should learn to drive and buy a car.

I think its a dandylion. But its more than that as well. Its like a windmill and a bubble blower which blows thoughts instead of bubbles. The three little shapes leading up to the circle. Tis really great

I love the atmosphere around this. The blue works awesomly with the red..

Yes, they work very well together, they almost contradict each other, like they're repellent.

the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this: Japan. It's the fan effect, and the red. But anyway, I really really like this composition...
