This piece is called “Dreams”. I created it to represent the random memory kernels floating in our subconscious that intersect and partially merge during sleep to create our phantasmagorical dreams. Part of my Light Series, it is a giclée on smooth canvass and measures 30â€W x 48â€H.
Wow!! I could keep on typing “wow” — Rob this is really beautiful. I love the light/hilights reflecting on the memory kernels, plus the weightless and 3-D quality as the kernels move around. The colors are really cool too.
Thank you for your enthusiasm Clare!
This piece has been “floating around in my head” 🙂 for some time now. I had the beginnings of it complete quite a while ago, but it finally fell into place this past week.
Again, thank you.
thank you for spending time with the Necromancer.
you have a very expansive body of work. and your 60 years are well spent. It ll take me some time to understand and appreciate your writings and images. you are an institution!
dreams is naturally beautiful. I would not have thought about it the way you explained it wiht the random memory kernels.
To me it is vividity abandoning a sphere and recurrence claiming oen threshold after another. I sound too abstract in this but I guess I too am a dreamer…

Thank you for visiting, and for your kind words!
The beauty of abstract art is the beholder’s freedom and ability to “see” what is true and real for them — not matter what the artist saw in creating the work.
With abstract art the artist’s interpretation is just one of the infinite possibilities. Abstract art is infinite. Each interpretation is a whole and accurate interpretation.
So feel free to name this piece as you see fit, and own it in your soul as you see it — because you see it correctly.
do you make these pictures or just the writing part? they are absolutely amazing! the most beautiful contemporary art i have ever seen! anyway, just coming by to say thanks for dropping by my sunday scribblings post!

Yes, I create everything on Image & Verse: writing, art, photos, furniture designs, and I co-create the fiber art with my wife.
If you read under all the “images” you will find my explanation for the inspiration I used in creating it.
Thank you for visiting, and thank you for the compliment!
I can do that stuff in my head but not anyway else…lol My best friend is an artist and she creates amazing things. I am so in awe at other’s creativity.
Very impressed! to your wife also for that original fiber art!

At least half the struggle, and maybe the most challenging, is envisioning each work. If you are able to do that you should invest yourself in learning a “hand” art-form or craft — it is most rewarding!
Humble thanks for the praise. 🙂
Exquisite! It is simply mesmeric! I’ve seldom had an instinctive leaning towards abstract (and I’m always confused if that’s reflective of a lack of aesthetic sense) but this just held my attention in a very special way. My mind jumped from here to there but always on some part of the image itself and never outside of it.

I am pleased you found enjoyment in this piece.
Art is very subjective. I like abstract because it leaves ultimate interpretation in the hands of the viewer, thereby, making the person viewing a proactive part of the experience.
That said, I do not like all abstract art by any means, and I do find great joy in the work of many artists not in the abstract category.
Thank you for visiting Image & Verse.
I love this!!
