Beautiful strands of hair  become an undulating sea that casts about and sings "come swim with me". Only the limits  I cast upon myself withholds me from the oceans of the world within!!..."Know thyself" as Socrates said so long ago.

Sitting down at one of our favorite ethnic restaurants I noticed the sill, the transparent blue film on the windows and the blinds above. I just had to take a picture without knowing exactly what I would create with this new image. I was drawn to it.

This image has been abstracted from the fingernail of my left thumb. Kinda sounds gross, but the challenge was there and I like the final image. Many things if not almost all things can have another existence, another view, feeling, texture, purpose, color, etcetera. This is true for me. In existentialism  the simple act of describing, let's say a bird, can become very elaborate. It could go on for pages and pages and none of the words and word combinations would describe the bird to you as you traditionally might view or conceive it. The reader would scratch their head thinking what it was they were reading about. What is, is not! Reality is like time, it constantly changes and I hope it changes for the good!! Have a sweet day. 

Three bricks on my chimney. They caught my eye and without knowing why! What did I see and intuitively sense about those three, common and always overlooked bricks? Another image, another place, another whimsical stretch of the existential mind? A drone view of a treed valley surrounded by plateaus, that is what I saw in the back of my mind and slowly brought to the front and out my hands. This is a location that is found no where but, possibly, everywhere. It is located in the imagination. We all have the ability to view happily the world in all its contortions and possibilities. Have a wonderful and positive spin on the planet earth!! Peace out.

In this series  I  photograph small and obscure inanimate images that exist in our every day world that goes unseen. I create a macro environment that is readable (yet abstract) from a micro environment that is constantly overlooked. The finished work above I call "floral hedge and sidewalk". The seed of the image was a door edge that was worn down to expose the different layers of paint from previous applications. The sidewalk was the lit space beyond the door edge. The area was no more than 1.5 inches long. Of course I had to work my magic to create the image, but the muscle of the project is too try and expose and share the worth of the minutia  in the world. To me it enhances the value, the sense of oneness in everything!...Enjoy the small bits of life...Peace Out.

Being an artist, to me, is the freedom to chase after an idea, a feeling, and too try and create that emotional path pictorially. Having created my Quantum Mechanics (QM) pieces and the fun I had doing that,  the creative outgrowth from that short series (will be continued)  is represented by the above image (landscape with setting sun).  The image can be described as abstract expressionism, but I would like to define this new series as "found and visually manipulated everyday inanimate objects that I have existentially altered to fit my view"  What a mouthful! In this new quest my imagination pushes and pulls the inanimate object (used in the  image above, a door hinge) filling in the spaces and places to create a surreal landscape. One way to describe my process that readers could possibly attach their own experience and imagination too is the viewing of clouds.  When looking at clouds move across the sky forming shapes they can remind you of an animal, face, anything that crosses your mind at that moment.  Imagination!!!! That is the key.  Such is art and the poetry it can divine!!!!

The cities of  Quantum Mechanics (QM) have evolved from each other and are involve with each other. You cannot have one without the other. Maybe the size, shape or color of individual cities might differ, but a shared essence remains. But I'm also hopeful that you could get a tasty Latte in any of the multiple reality cities. May peace and happiness reign through and around each universe!!

The bubble of another universe floats in my imagination. Knock, knock who is in there? All fun and games today and I hope the same is true for all my doppelgangers out there somewhere. I'm sure they are all saying...Peace Out!!

Alternate Universes! Here are just a few together in the same space, but unseen to each other... Maybe we share the same qualities? Maybe a bit brighter, shorter, taller but only a tiny bit different. The  importance of being able to live in the hear and now I'm sure is mirrored throughout the universes. Bring forward the colors, sounds and brightness of our lives. Enrich others, help others, support others and care deeply for others are qualities that help to strengthen all our lives. I'm sure our alternate reality doppelgängers feel the same way......For sure!! johntaskerart@gmail.com

So near yet so far. Dimension to Universe to alternate realities to the here and now. My right hand does not know what my other right hands do: Shaking hands, patting a friend on the back, stroking my cats face, feeding and reading and handing out high fives? Quantum Mechanics (QM) says I can do it all, simultaneously with all the happiness that I can muster. World without end!!! Peace Out. 

Quantum Mechanics and multiple worlds. How does one get from here to there? Well, in my world I traveled through a ringed wormhole of my creation. Even though I am still here, in my mind I was there. That is the beauty of imagination and creativity. Peace out and rest well!!

Quantum Mechanics states that multiple universes  can and do exist. Quantum Mechanics spin on its many-world interpretation says that there are many alternatives in these other universes and that they are all equally real, but that we can only see and experience one particular outcome which emanates from our universe. From my perspective I'm hoping that the other Me's are having as much fun interpreting this many-world concept! Peace out!
