The image uses various digital techniques to create a dynamic swirling image reminiscent of the Rembrant masterpiece from which the title is taken.

From the Moody Blues:

“Timothy Leary’s dead.

No, no, no, no, He’s outside looking in.”

A post-apocalyptic look at the environment with a hope for environmental redemption.

I originally named this series because the early images – produced by folding, mirroring and overlaying existing images – called to mind the familiar inkblots of the Rorschach psychological test.

The name took on greater significance when I realized that, as an image became less recognizable, its original meaning became lost and new, more ambiguous meanings emerged. Often, those new meanings seemed to be projected onto the image by the viewer, revealing more about what the viewer brought to the image than what the image presented to the viewer.

As the artist, I experience these same in meaning shifts (sometimes several per image) during the creation of each piece. Occasionally I am able control the process but usually I find myself experimenting until the image “lets me know” what it wants to be. Often I find that what emerges connects deeply with my personal response to a memory, another work of art or even a bit of popular music. Those connections are often reflected in the titles I have given the works.

Another digital image

Digital abstraction based upon the hallucinogenic  Jefferson Airplane classic, White Rabbit. “If you go chasing rabbits you know you’re bound to fall.”

A digital expressionist piece incorporating various images. The title is from the Steppenwolf song, Snow Blind Friend written by Hoyt Axton.
