step forward and upwards - 2021

I get how a lot of people feel right now. I'm right there with you. Two days ago I put out my first animation. Today is my second. Yesterday, I almost put out my first true digital abstract, but, something held me back.

Today I figured out what that was. I will play around with 2d abstract in the digital field, but to stop there at this point would be a horrendous loss of the opportunities that are ahead of me. There are so many things that I now see that were clouded before. Layers I must penetrate, and along the way leave my mark.

I was here! I did this!

My face tends to randomly come out in some of my works, at moments I didn't expect. I don't know why but when it does theres something afoot.

So much growth in such short a time. Who wouldn't feel like this put together right now, or broken apart? It's me...it's you...all of us here banging away at the edges of the new world.

Bridging my abstract into this world, overcoming so many animal inhibitions, to shun the physical and enter the digital, a realm of just energy...where the mind can be free...yet..nothing comes without a cost. But I pay it gladly.

This series of images tied together to make me, abstract in ways that I hope you can see, and I also hope you see yourself, or at least empathize with it.
