Seeing as how Skyaak has asserted itself in the center of my artistic life and expression, it’s only fitting that I appreciate the rich potential of the image to draw upon its unique visual nature and conceptual base. I am enjoying this creative journey as something beyond time and space, and revel in the reality that I can share the images and ideas instantly with a potentially world-wide audience. Personally, I don’t give a hoot if this body of thought and work ever reaches the mainstream of so-called critical acclaim. It just doesn’t matter! I’m generating a certain amount of steadily increasing recognition within certain intelligent and receptive circles that totally ‘bakes my cake’.
Besides, I have a full-time day-job that provides all the financial stability that we need to do just fine, thank you very much. So I get to treat the Skyaak project with a certain detached air of pure creative bliss. How cool is that? Put it this way... I will never EVER sacrifice the depth of integrity that I firmly believe is central to the project. I am innocent of ulterior motives. I’m doing this strictly for the intellectual and spiritual stimulation. And as a rather huge bonus, I am making steady amazing progress connecting up with world-wide enthusiasts in the scientific and design communities. The Skyaak project has a certain purity at its heart and soul that will remain non-negotiable. Bearing this in mind, I will carry on with my explorations of the methodology of ‘Art that Flies’, and the concept of ‘Where Art meets Science’. Not only do I get a charge out of creating an ongoing series of images based on the Skyaak design, I also more importantly continue to develop the design rationale for the actual flying device. It’s not much of a stretch to see that there are some obvious metaphors at work here.
It’s only a matter of time before my intuition leads me to the critically important connections that will further enrich and crystalize the project. As well, I am zeroing in on the skill-sets that I will soon implement to allow me to reach a very wide audience outside of the traditional ‘gallery’ and beyond the scope of the ‘art critics’. I sure won’t hold my breath waiting for academic art critics to wrap their heads around what I’m doing. I just don’t care. In this instance, I get to be the snob. Ha ha, I beat them to the punch!
Here's my latest creation:
