Artist's Comment
Name:Synthetic Frog Totem

This is an example of Sacred Geometry. I took the drawing (see 'Study 101' in my gallery) that I made and manipulated it with perfect(as close as I can get anyway) symmetry. Keep in mind, I used nothing but the original image to create this here thingy!

A high speed connection is advised.

From my artistic perspective:

Within the realm of perceived reality there exists a common thread that presents itself in the form of a pattern. No matter what the image, if the proper amount of mathematics (in the form of geometry) is applied, even you will discover this fact for yourself.

From time immortal the Torus/Toriod (nautilus shaped unit of sacred geometry) has been the fundamental building block for all perceived matter in and around Terra proper.

The earliest examples of human architecture, art and religious symbology have reflected the naturally occurring patterns that surround us.

It (the master pattern) is of a flawless design. Even within evident "chaos", order can resonate with omnipotent glory far beyond the limitation(s) of our temporal lobe perception.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!.....I have always thought the same thing when it comes to mathematics,geometry and symmetry in atrwork and finally there is somebody thinks along the same lines as me.....this piece is 'friggin' awesome!!....it is almoet as if you can stera at it for hours and only crack the surface of the details....i am still new to this digital art thing as far as doing it on the pc is concerned....i cam see what i want in my minds eye.i just gotta figure out how to work the software to achieve it....i will be posting some originals myself soon.....anyway....EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if I agree about the torus being the fundamental building block of all percieved matter, but I do agree that chaos is an illusion, possibly caused by our limited sensory abilities and the confined sense of reason which results from this state.

Unfortunately, another part of me just wants to exclaim, "Dude! This is so tripppy!" For which you will have to forgive me.

On the whole though, I do like it. The frogs remind me of Mayan sculpture from the Yucatan.

This is what I call "Breaking the image".
Like an egg, you have to destroy the known to get to the underlying substance. In terms of process symmertrical applications like this can achieve this, destroying or "pausing" representational baggage and allowing the artist to "stare into the abyss" so to speak.

Knowing how to ride the dragon once it starts staring back is the trick.
This is a method similar in a lot of ways to "Magick" I suppose you could call it. I am also a fan of using this process in my own work.

Again, VC, nice to se eyou around the place.

Yeah no joke. Glad you are back.

Your Flashwork is some of the tightest around.
And that you are exploring sacred geometry is also great.
