ABSTRACTIONS 03_2-21-2012_019 | "CASUAL DESCENT" | ~ 18″X24″ | TEMPERA, GESSO AND CHARCOAL ON PAPER
Saw a Dr. Who episode the other night where the Dr. and his asst. were cloned, shrunk (Honey I Shrunk the Kids – shrink) and injected into the Dr.’s brain because his mind was infected. [Difference between the mind and brain.] During the search for the Nucleus – infection source - several times they pass through the Dr’s “neural network“.
The more I worked on this piece the more I though about how they created it. There are certain episodes that I find very visually appealing. Some of the best low-budget sci-fi set design I’ve seen – if not the best. But anyway, if there were a nearly literal meaning to anything I’ve done, the full title of this work would be, “Casual Descent through the Dr’s Neural Network.”
Love Dr. Who, too!
Nice. I’m currently making my way through the Tom Baker years.
