A glimpse into the workings of the mind of an artist as an explorer.
This narrative is about increasing awareness of self while dealing with experiences of the remarkable.
Many aspects of the remarkable are intangible, invisible and as yet unprovable.
These explorations present opportunity to stretch the limitations of current perceptions, and this, I firmly believe, is the direction humans, both, individually and then united as humanity, need to go.
Expression emanating from the intangible, the invisible and the unprovable are not as yet acceptable for mainstream utilization yet each human has the opportunity to become open to the possibility of advancing in that direction.
The very nature of both creativity and intuition are the focus of attention within this narrative. Review and revision of these subjects are imperative elements for an evolving and an expanding clarity.
As narrator I pause. I have attempted numerous “Beginnings” such as the above. How is this expression to be different? It is to be different in that I will both attempt to narrate in real time while simultaneously making reference to various notes taken from personal art-related journaling.
I pause once more, recognizing that within this situation I am currently feeling some despair. I do not recognize a way through to relating the depth, the core of this narrative of the remarkable. Despite numerous attempts, none of the results have yet felt comfortable.
Might this be an appropriate time to present the part of the journaling that relates specifically to despair? The practical side of me argues that this would not be in the chronological sequence of the original explorations. Hmm. I contemplate.
This note might hint that despair was indeed somehow significant in the early phase of exploration yet that note is, well, maybe a little heavy without the introduction of more context. I will provide context by first describing some of the events prior to early exploration. Before describing those prior events, let us instead digress.
