Causal Nature

Spatial positions
Temporal periods
Apparent events

Early morning light shines on seasonal change, intensifying the transcendence of time beyond substance that nevertheless affects nature. Some spatial positions repeatedly capture attention and help to determine the character of apparent quintessence.

“In sense-perception nature is disclosed as a complex of entities whose mutual relations are expressible in thought without reference to mind, that is, without reference either to sense-awareness or to thought.” – Alfred North Whitehead

Dubious Enticements

Stuffed characters
Taxidermy suggestion
Anxiety reassurance

As pretend creatures are on display and waiting for adoption in a nearby street carnival, overcrowding effects emotional cartoon selection criteria.

“It is deeply satisfying to win a prize in front of a lot of people.” – E.B. White

Demands of Experience

Conceivability fields
Immediately available
Fanciful speculations

Across the green fields and into the twilight, the fleeting present coincides in the fluidity of inner life. In an uninterrupted transition, the continuation of what precedes folds into what follows as succession without separation in conscious duration.

“It is memory, but not personal memory, external to what it retains, distinct from a past whose preservation it assures; it is a memory within change itself, a memory that prolongs the before into the after, keeping them from being mere snapshots appearing and disappearing in a present ceaselessly reborn.” – Henri Bergson

Geometrical Axiom

Eminent fashion
Producing reasons
Sufficient explanation

Moving fast through the urban environment, eye-level design elements are quickly extracted as a phenomenon of immediate intuition, devoid of rational reflection or close examination.

“A definition, if it is to be called perfect, must explain the inmost essence of a thing, and must take care not to substitute for this any of its properties.” – Baruch Spinoza

Road Works

Sunlight adores
That stretch ahead
Destiny’s highway

Catching reflected light at an advantageous instant, the journey continually provides immediate opportunity under variable conditions. Attractive ideas are occasionally conceived during a state of physical stimulation.

“Some beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost.” – Erol Ozan

Zandra’s Taqueria

Center Street
Always a fiesta
Flavor combos

On the street, a well-balanced frontal approach tickles an observer’s attention. Having the right amounts of different constituent visual ingredients may carry over to cuisine wrapped in any variety of thin flatbread made from finely ground wheat flour.

“So how as a nation can we sit around and eat Mexican food, and drink beer and make friends? That’s the question. If we can do that on a broader scale, I think we’ll come out of it all right.” – Sandra Day O’Connor

Physical Landscape

Vitalist aspect
Unity experience
Subjectivist paradigm

The landscape is a lucid relationship of nature and culture as a visual expression of the continuum of time. While the soil and stone that substantiate a panorama may be ancient, the conspicuous vegetation has only recently emerged.

“The mind swells out to fill the entire landscape, becoming so diffuse in the process that one loses the ability to keep it fastened to the physical self.” – Haruki Murakami

Design Object

Categorical concept
Functional aesthetic
Convention interaction

Seeking abstractions as a function of cultural history, at the vintage car show there is always a certain amount of nostalgic association involved.

“I think the deeper you go into questions, the deeper or more interesting the questions get. And I think that’s the job of art.” – Andre Dubus III

Street Walking

Soft glowing light
Period of ambiguity
Gradual amplification

Twilight can transform an ordinary street into a richly colored dreamscape. Experience is more alive than usual under such enchanting conditions, quicker to respond emphatically to external stimulation.

“In day-time we investigate, but at night believe.” – Henry James Slack

Brook no Brooks

In a babbling
Developed flow
Enjoy wading

Walking over public artifacts may well offer abstract extraction opportunities. Here a weathered expression painted on asphalt in an alley inspires a creative jumping-off posture. It is satisfying to use old art to inspire new art.

“There’s a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.” – Dan Harmon
