The Waiting Room Drawings #2 – mixed media – by clinock. April 11. 2013.
Considerable Latitude by clinock.
When lines intersect
light is born
casting arcs across space,
glowing filaments
waiting for passage.
When lines touch
Magic is afoot,
Time is a broken dream
and the night
waits for release.
When lines tangle
shapes are drawn,
figures and faces search
far distances
waiting to dance.
When lines dissolve
Space is illusion,
Time is healed in colour
and immaculate Magic
waits to be tamed.
In The Waiting Room
all lines lead inward.
‘The 100′ series was initiated by my 100th Post in April 2012. As text and images are the essence of my blog I will post 100 pieces of textual art from historical and contemporary artists and from my own hand. To view the series to date click on ‘The 100’ in my Category Menu.
I really love this one, the word lines kept morphing in my head to lives and back again 🙂
Thank you for your kind words Gary…
“space is illusion” an interesting concept…what is space, is it only for the artist to define as they work. The space I observe is not the same as the space the viewer may necessarily observe…interesting three words, these will keep my mind occupied for a while! Thanks John.
Gregory, glad I could occupy your mind with three small words. As you say, Space as a concept can be elusively subjective, even, I think, in scientific circles. In the act of art, for me, space becomes the silence between the sounds of shape, colour and line. In my poem it’s metaphorical and shares meanings with the art, with physical space and with the metaphysical. Many thanks for your comment…
This is fabulous. If I saw the piece in a waiting room, I would get up and leave, thinking life is way too rich and full for sitting here.
Super comment Carl, appreciate it. My thoughts were that if one chooses to remain in the Waiting Room until it’s time to leave, for whatever reason, one might, meanwhile, travel through the drawing…
Excellent arrangement of words, shapes and colors!
Grateful for your support CC – many thanks…
Wow……….John, love this piece……and verse. Complex, deep…insightful, rich and moving. Some might describe it as a home run…..
I’m blown away by your comment Robert, your words are an inspiration to me – many, many thanks…
Your attention to details is amazing! Food for thoughts indeed as well as a true pleasure for eyes and soul. I can’t resist using the word “magical” here…
It’s a joy and reward to be able to nourish your eyes, thoughts and soul Ese. The magic is in the viewer.
Thank you for your words…
Hi John, this image has so much to see (between the space) love it, and also the poem.
