Wood Art
There are two types of Wood Art I enjoy. Sometimes I'll carve, cut, or shape wood, could be with a dremel or even turning a large stem into a wand or a branch to a Scepter. The other type I enjoy very much is the litchenberg process in burning wood, It's made by wetting a piece of wood with baking soda and water while trying to pass electricity using some form of transformer or arc welder. Transformer arcs are DEADLY so don't take any risks.
Litchenberg Art
Litchenberg Arts are a form of taking large charges of electricity and sending them through material to create an Etched impression of where it has been overloading membranes and blowing out in beautiful exploratory fractals, carving through the path of least resistance, it may not be obvious that most material is typically non-conducive, meaning it's difficult for the electricity to follow through it, even in it's own path of least resistance through the wood. yet It must follow A PATH, and this path would have existed in the electrolyte structure of the Tree, to say, It's arterial network where it used to send water! Oddly enough the Sequence that designs our veins is ever present within the wood as well as the electricity when it lights the sky. Both following the same pattern of creation, Inside and out.
The Storm.
I have not touched it yet besides the electrocution and cleaning it up. The way this lines up to me is a desert hill top. looking toward the foothills. a cloud at the top right, Major lightning in the center. another cloud top left a ton of trees and crests. Though you may see a totally different scene because the Result is ultimately Rorschach, Does anyone See the Schooner? that's the beauty of this form of art, written within the tree long before the overload of electricity ever hit it, is a scene of the world or something in it. As above; So Below.
Archipelagos.
This one appear to be a satellite or isometric view of a small chain of islands. But if you Look REALLY Closely, You can also See Ryu on the Right Side Firing Dark Hado Fireballs down at Akuma From the view of his own eyes. You can see a formation of his left hand at the left side of the canvas overloaded with dark hado. That's what makes this Natural Art so Cool, It takes on the profile of the users imagination and that's somewhat divine considering it's all natural. If you have some paint or even photoshop you can screw around with it. It begs to Ponder, Do we actually know the full scale in which electricity functions at, it could even go to base existence. The numerical sequence is call the Fibonacci sequence. but as you see it here, You'll notice, it takes the form of the whole earth around you. This is the shape of everything we know, Clouds, Mountains, Trees, Bushes, Your fingers, They all follow this Pattern of Chemical evolution, yet it's electric, You'll see it as you look around. So in many ways, What prints out from the macroscope burning of the the Trees Cellular network, Is the Very world around it, if the canvas calls to you, if it's in your heart. You will quite literally see the schooner, Master Rafiki taught me that.
The River
The River Was the Most impressionable piece for me, In fact, As it was burning the long chain at the left. I realized Exactly where it was trying to go, and I cheered it on hoping it would continue to create the river I began to see. Once I cleaned this up I had to paint it. So I took on my first true painting and bought Acrylics and took out this airbrush Ms. Jerry Gave to me. It took a bit of learning and especially brush maintenance. But I found a cheap way to get a solid background mixing acrylics and isopropyl alcohol. After fuddling around I decided to make a color profile and even out the spread by 4 spectrums per color in order to gain slightly more realistic impressions like Shadows and Rifts/highlights. I'm never entirely finished with any piece but this is where it is today. I felt the heart of it's owner when I found that yellow needed to be in there. So I looked around online and found these beautiful dandelions, under the blossoms at the bridge ways. I love Japan. So I was happy that the river carved itself out for me to share with it's future owner.
Behind the River is "The Ascent" Which is a small waterfall somewhere between Mt Charleston and Zion National park. It's a sheer Cliff that hosts a waterfall and several pine trees and bushes. It appears to be climbable by experts.
The Ascent is both left and right side. Right side most recent. The Burning Bush is below as well as Key west, Neither are done, but their impressions are present.
This is just a tirade because I never went to school...well, ever really. when I did it was for free lunch. but if there are any nerds out there, I hope this gets close enough to something that you've pondered. As I thought about that Fibonacci sequence I thought about how our universe is unable to form a Material Circle. Even with something a accurate as Metric Math you can't divide 10 by 3. Go cut a yardstick evenly in three, even if you could slice the atoms finely you couldn't equalize the 3 sticks. There is yet a finer math to be discovered. If you take structure atom by atom, Then you can make many two dimensional shapes as seen below. But you'll never be able to make a circle. Think about that in 3d, Why would it be any different? It could get indiscernibly close, but there will always be a point to point pressure between those atoms that tie the nuclei together in the formation of molecules like Lego bricks when the electrons merge into open valence shells, For some reason, I get a huge hunch toward electro-magnetism as opposed to gravity. As EM would Guarantee the Electrons to Dock cleanly on rotation, and Gravity as we Presume it, Seems like it couldn't ensure that aberrant electrons could cleanly make their way to available atoms and wouldn't just clunk about on the surface of Already complete valence shells, especially When Dealing with the astonishing speed in which atomic and molecular transmutation unfold. Anything less than perfect may produce immeasurable turbulence or collision on merger. See H20 Demonstration You can see how reliable the linking needs to be to ensure the static results that chemistry offers. With gravity's concept, It's like pouring lego bricks into the lazy river and Expecting King Triton's Castle to form. With the Universe's core engine, The ultimate end is presumed to be an attempt at a circle, From asteroids, to planets, then stars, All trying to make a circle. Yet none can, If this shape did exist, i think it would be on an energy level. For instance, Space is not empty, even without material, there is still a network of free flowing dark matter, I believe that is where we find our perfect circle, We are constantly rolling between frictionless dark matter. (At least 3d's Version of Frictionless) as far as 3d goes, there is No circle for us, there is no state of "perfection" for material existence to guide itself by, So the one must ask, what does that imperfect material do when a rogue energy is propelling from one end to the other? It navigates between those molecular clusters hoping to avoid knots. The lines here are the history of the Trees preference to where it catalyzed to grow on a cellular level hence the "Resistance" where the fractals have a minor influence are literally harden points of the Trees Physical structure on a microscopic scale. Swing through the Photos here and you'll likely see the correlation. The Cellular Structure of Trees. Below is an Homage to all I've said here. The other one is is a little Garden scene I did for fun.
If you're interested in this art and concept and would like to find a great piece for me to work at whatever length you'd like feel free to call me. I love this stuff. Contact
