Cactus Digital Art — by kenne
Life, art, and logic are full of absurdities of various kinds.
We conceptualize absurdities when we
discuss square circles and circular squares.
It is art that is able to provide a mediator
between the strange and the real.

“The creative act is only an incomplete and abstract moment in the production of a work.”

“Does it matter whether one is required to complete the work
or whether one is free to desist from the work
if you must meet a final art that certainly you did not make?”
*****
“Philosophical problems are conceptual confusions
that arise when a form of utterance appropriate
to one mode of discourse is mistakenly used in the wrong context
Confusions must be unpicked employing ordinary uses of language.”

Tom Turner — Image by kenne
Tom once wrote:
“Complications,
ambiguities,
nonsequiturs.
I keep searching
for clarity . . . lucidity;
knowing each time I seek that
I’ll become more entangled.
No. I’m not bored.
Just scared.
I’m moving toward
a sort-of silence . . .
I know what you’re thinking —
Bull-shit!
Bull shit!
Bull Shit!
Since the
significant things
I want to say
have the wrong
inflections;
intonations
for most arenas
of conversation:
I ramble on
into oblivion.
A series of nonsequiturs.”

Day’s End — Image by kenne
Any sorrows the day may bring
cannot last beyond day’s end
dying in the eyes of the setting sun.

Doors are for Opening (A Door In The French Quarter) — Computer Art by kenne
My serious apprehension of being
Is freed by acts of becoming —
Through the task of opening doors,
Where I learn from the past,
Laugh at today’s mistakes, and
Dream about tomorrow.

After The Fire — Computer Art by kenne
Fires destroy
Fires renew
Opposites in
Need of
Each other.
After the fire
Comes the rain
Comes the sun
New life out of
Opposites.
Perception of
Opposites
Depends on
The moment of
Experience.
Without experience
Moments
Are projected
As the perception
Of the other.
The other is the
Teacher who meets the
Human need for a
Shared experience
Of being alive.

Mirror Watching People
Mirror, mirror on the wall
You image my world with integrity
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Your integrity gives my existence validity
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Give me insight least controlled by others
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Together we can weave a world of peace
