number four- the missing piece

i've been reading the Pursuit of Elegance by Matthew E. May. it's a really interesting book- focusing on the idea of, obviously, elegance. i will pose more art relating to the ideas of elegance. elegance is marked by mainly four ideas- symmetry, seduction, subtraction, and sustainability.

if you haven't recognized already, which you should, this picture is the upper case E. "it's the transformative idea that lies at the heart of elegance: what isn't there can often trump what is."-M.E. May

number three- june 23, 2009

tribute to the person who is coming back today. the artwork is simple, but ripped off from the drawings of virginia tech's explanations for relativity. the characters in this scene are yang, daniel, and debra. think you can figure out who's who.

number two- organized chaos

i realize i'm not a talented online blog updater. here's art from saturday. this is the outside of qhc, done with the help of 4 other guys.










it intrigues me how in the midst of chaos and randomness, that there is order in the overall picture. when one is in the midst of the chaos, everything around him is chaos. however, when one sees the entire picture, one can truly appreciate and relax since everything is so well planned and organized. the world is a replica of this phenomenon. we are in the midst of chaos until we see things from God's perspective. many a times, we complain of sufferrings and hardships and evil in the world, but take a step back and know that God is in direct control of everything. how does one know that the initial sufferring cannot bring goodness of a situation? one cannot and does not want to eliminate sufferring in the world. as long as love exists, sufferring exists. plus, sufferring is a byproduct of free-will. without free-will, this world would be hell, perhaps. i'm not a fan of long entries so i apologize for unexpanded thoughts.

[[i really hate the format of this blogger thing. inputting pictures and all that makes the whole post very hard to manage. i'm not sure if i'm the only one with this problem. either way, it's not worth explaining.]]
