Artist's Comments

Acrylic on wood panel, app. 8x12 inches. A new piece.
I tried about 5 times to upload a large version, but for some reason it was freezing in the "processing" mode.

A staple of (my) childhood was a sort of ante-room dream at the very border of sleep. As I was drifting off I would find myself in a large room full of assorted machinery, cluttered about in broken piles - large pistons, antique printing presses...
This came to mind about midway into this particular piece, though I've no idea if this memory were indeed the genesis of it.

I also used to drift off to visions of huge checkerboard patterned rockets - though this may had had more to do with that old Astro Boy cartoon than anything else...

Thanks for looking =)

It is out of another world, as if a dream. I love the texture, etching quality of this work.

The darkness of the drawing pulled me into this one but after reading what you wrote I was absolutely bug-eyed with thoughts running through my head. Whether you dreamed it or not it's interesting and has inspired a few things in me. Most of my dreams I'd care to never remember, let a lone recreate. But the may soon change.

Transporting; the kind of illumined sanctuary that beckons the imagination as persuasively as rapid eye movement and holds it there by speaking very softly...
