The traditional goal of realism in the West is usually believed to be the direct representation of a subject as it appears to the observer. It is a discipline based on information from the eye. However, we now know this knowledge is not whole. Further study of our natural environment has brought us to be conscious of the world on a microphysical level, allowing our understanding of reality to become multiplicitous. Upon viewing the model, we gain one level of understanding, but intellectually, we know everything to be built from smaller unseen parts. We are aware of molecular exchanges happening between a human being and their environment through simple actions such as breathing the air or making contact with an object.
I'm hoping to give visual life to this space around and inside the human. It is weighted with the breath of those passed, and all that currently lives, and circling through us all the time.
These sketches...don't quite do that yet. I need to get a lil less 1922 wit it.
