always in and out of context
and breathing life through creation

    love this composition Chris,the image combines a roughness that is then smoothed with the flowing lines of beautiful contrasting colours, and the words just roll right on along side it,so well done and very creative

  • Christopher Bi... replied

    wow thank you mel for the enthusiastic encouragement, (big smile here!) i think im getting braver with my experiments and its comments like yours that give me a nudge to go further;) , in photoshop the image of the envelope was huge, the writing is much easier to see when shown very large, its the notes i wrote when inspiration struck for this poem struck. c

    You are a Victor Hugo ( 1802-1885) of modern time…
    Much of your visionary artwork and writing reflect many Hugo’s.
    In this particular one here , I am reminded of a drawing ” Ma Destinee (1867 ) ” with its speeding wave of creation as a mirror of itself…
    WELL DONE CHRISTOPHER !

    To be continued ! ;-)

  • Christopher Bi... replied

    andre, i am finding it hard to respond to your words, i have read some of Hugo’s work, alas only translated versions, i have also seen his wonderful drawings and the ma destinee you speak of, i can only wish!!!!

    i always try to take each piece written or art as far as my mind (and unfortunately skill level) will allow me to take it, your encouragement only spurs me on to take it further still.

    i have every respect for your work and the challenges your written work poses. you my friend are an awesome talent and i look forward to seeing more and more….c xx
