A swarm of dreams populate my waking.
Light whispers on a chair, on wood, and streams through a curtain, a window, a quiet staircase.
Plato said that love is the participation in the ideal of beauty--but it is fleeting, momentary.
So I roam the streets of my existence, ready to capture an elusive and irresistible being.

Timeless, ageless and almost eternal. Simple yet unfathomable!

An impressive gallery, Alhoa. It is substantive at times, moving beyond aesthetics for their own sake. You abstract quite well, and your have an eye for the incongruous and the humane. The goal is to consistently integrate all three.
JSWaters PM reply 01-Mar-2007 16:31
Your eye seems to see selectively and capture the beautiful fragments of the world that surrounds us. I love abstracting things as well, and I'm looking forward to more of this.
