She gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
She must have died alone
A long long time ago

Deb/Estrellaris the wiser: She’s 5”2” and emaciated now. Weathered from desert extremes. Pale ivory skin once, now deep olive, her capillaries haven come to the surface of her skin has rendered her a fearsome visage. Her mandala is the colors of the field flowers she knew as a child. Lavenders, blues, mauves, her skin is dark jaundiced gold. In the Human Grid series, I went into some pretty dark passageways, down some dank, dark rabbitholes and surfed the edge of the event horizon of each character I built. I'd spend hours and hours on them, making each very unique. That was before I started writing narratives and characterizations of each one. By now I have a pantheon of them, with well established events in their lives, how they urned out (human or cyborg) and to what degree. Wars, rebellions, holocausts, etc... Human mandalas evolved from the Human Grid series. If you work with the idea that we're being gobbled up by the grid, sooner or later, you wonder: "But what if we come out okay?" It's that eternal optimist gig.

Laura is the face in the misty light
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall

"...the face in the misty light," 2005 #DigitalCompositeImage from the #HumanGrid #Mandala
She's 6'2" and lived through most of the conflagrations the World had experienced before the Cyborgs. Swarthy complexion now seared with scars. Her mandala s rich yellows, blacks, tans and browns.

"Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" ≈ Paul Gauguin

“Estrella Contra,” dci’≈Human Grid series. I think of these works as Petri dishes in which I observe cultures emerge—fade & in this case conceive of graphic novels. 🧮#digitalcompositeimage #humangrid #postmodern #2illustrate
"Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" ≈ Paul Gauguin “Estrella Contra,” digital composite image’ from the 'Human Grid' series, I think of these works as Petri dishes in which I observe cultures & in this case conceive of graphic novels. Two figures, both women, in an abstract composition, emanating a sense of power, and of shielding others. Celadon greens to yellows, composed within a grid, or a star chamber in a universe allowing birth to new stars? Estrella, my star. An idea, based upon a friendship which has been with me since 1998, when I first began to consider where we as humans were, and where we may be going, within technology and the emerging power of the internet. Of course now, this is only a reflection of a time. By 2002, I was photographing models for a series I intended to put forward. It would be a multi-pantheon of gods juxtaposed upon a fabric of humans who had become part of a cyborgian ethic, or if you will, a network. The gods were to be drawings and paintings. The humans were to be digital builds, what I came to call digital composite images. There would be war, of course, for that is the earmark of human culture. Even those which exist only within an imagined Petri dish. This war would first manifest on gallery or institutional walls, but then I became a teacher. The idea was submerged underneath the teaching. But it did not drown. Over the years, it has floated up and down into my work, always a dichotomy of sorts still and I began sidebar works; the Human Grid, the Mythics, Human mandalas, for what if in becoming part of. machine ethic, we were to become enlightened? Perhaps. It could be an outcome, if one were writing a novel. For only when we as writers create our characters do we truly know who they are, or were—and why they make the choices they make. I mentioned above that a graphic novel also floats, mostly in the wake of these creations, but who is to say whether a wake is our past, or, our future?

... and I'm feeling good!

Don't my miserable tasks first today and now have slowed myself 60 mins of playtime.
Clear some weeds, get wood inside.
Fresh air, birdsong, clearing footpaths around my end of the village, because there's only 10 days left and so much to do!!!
