Intent Into Life

(Begins with Passion)

This painting is based on the design of the computer microprocessor. If you've ever had the opportunity to look at a microprocessor through a powerful microscope you would probably think the same thing I thought the first time I saw one. They look like tapestries, layers upon layers of little lines making up patterns.

Each microchip has connecting "pads" on the outside edge of the chip so that it can be connected to the motherboard. In this painting the "hand prints" are the pads.

With that in mind, I ask you: How many times have you wanted to walk up and touch a painting? Did you act before you thought, or did you catch yourself and stop? It's not just that urge to touch a painting that I'm talking about it's about all those kinds of urges you've ever had. Where do they come from? And does that question even matter? The net result is what I'm talking about --> Intentions <-- are the roots of all endeavors.

To act without thought,
to touch without reason,
these things we may do
on the whim of a season.

Where do these come from?
Where do they lead us?
Are we dancing our own steps,
or are we being danced by some greater ballet?

This simple compulsion
comes from our depths
it’s the sort of propulsion
which gave the elements breadth

With thought not required,
because Passion inspired;
the dancing, that touch and some chatter
are also what makes up matter.

Through connection of character
derived from intent
(while chaotic debris gives its own bent)
they stack without layers
these intention life players
in their spaces defined by a dance
where extended relational oddities
convert into being Commodities

A simple little trick (intent)
makes a magical flick.
