I think each revision did get better. The black sea was too black, so the green paper no matter how gloopy was an improvement. I think the greeny sea you ended with looks better than the blue one.<br /><br />I like all of the ones in this series. They remind me of Jules Verne or Georges Méliès and definitely convey a journey.Mark Sheekyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710485457283053795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9162234011271401496.post-15605712360837009802011-06-10T00:21:42.375-04:002011-06-10T00:21:42.375-04:00oh sharmon! i love it now!

I like this inst...What an interesting progression! I like this instinctive approach to the tuning you're doing--especially in this kind of highly symbolic presentation. <br /><br />All the major pieces were in place in the first version, but by following your gut even more major elements came forth greatly enhancing the work. These adjustments add to the magical/mystical aura that you no doubt were after. <br /><br />I'm seeing a soul lodged in corporal existence (the man made maps), dreaming of being born into a more ethereal realm. She's in a cocoon or chrysalis--the fiber texture is cool. Thanks for getting rid of the green beach towel--distracting. <br /><br />The foreground tuning became complete with the addition of green, grounding the piece in a reassuring sense. The blue was icy and dead looking which is obviously not what you are presenting here. <br /><br />I am immediately uncomfortable as I notice the weird, impish being in the shadow of her 'hair'. It's staring at me. What a device you've used! Now I'm drawn into the scene, and the central figure is not a sleeping girl any more. It's the animus--me--the part that invented the world and all of it's myriad dichotomy--the part that became an artist--the right brain version. <br /><br />And there's my constant companion with its menacing beak--the anima--the left brain there to spoil the fun (wake me back up into the world). <br /><br />But soon I will be birthed out of all this, and become whole again. Now I exist in this pre-conscious black wave--womblike in that I can't see it, but it sustains me. I can't even imagine the expanded consciousness I'll be waking up to. <br /><br />You've made all the right choices in tuning this piece. If anything, I would make a decision whether or not to finally obliterate the 'B' and the 'C' in 'Quebec' [and maybe even the 'Q']--that is unless you mean to attach importance to the country (I don't think you do since the rest of the labeling on the map elements are unrecognizable). <br /><br />I really like those starfish and the light refracting from behind the globe--very dreamlike. The four fronds are still a mystery to me, but I'm working on it. <br /><br />I've really enjoyed spending some time with this piece--outstanding work. Bravo. <br /><br />WmWilliam Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286221149980028093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9162234011271401496.post-69716796600501182482011-06-09T08:11:27.830-04:002011-06-09T08:11:27.830-04:00Not a major fail at all!
