Visibilty

Saturday, March 20, 2010

No this is not an optical illusion though it could be conceived as one. I chose this image to represent the idea of "visibility" because at first glance it looks as though it is a spiral patter, the only difference is that there is no focal point..no point of origin so to speak, looking closer one can see that the intrinsic circle rings emerge and the dawning realization that it is something it is not becomes clear. I think of this cyclical pattern as a template, a starting point on which to visualize anything to be possible, then examining closer, I see that the emerging circles can best represent what each of us do when we begin writing, the stage of visualization for our characters in our story, or the process of the dreaded term papers, where is our focal point, where do we start? This image does that, it first fools you into thinking it is just a simple pattern, but when given a chance it becomes something more fruitful and much more visible.
