“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.”
Friedrich Nietzsche 

The human brain is hardwired and conditioned to form structure and pattern from all the information processed on its journey through the visual cortex. We can see what is there, we can see what we believe is there, but isn't.

Part of an evolving series (under the moniker Phorestt Phyre) this painting is constructed with layer upon layer of random colour, chaotic information, that upon close inspection represents nothing, maybe the beautiful noise, auras, energies and sincere truth of Nature in all its feral honesty.

Such constant chaos wouldn't be tolerable to the mind, so out of necessity we must construct. Stepping away from it cacophony of colour and movement our intuitive reason/survival instinct slowly forms the shape and gentle, tranquil peace of a crescent Moon.

Simultaneously the flat scientific white area from afar appears sterile, clinical, technical. Moving closer brings in more and more detail, texture, chaos. Once again what we believed to be there, no longer is. The fine balance between the architecture of Nature and randomness of Man.
