What is Real?
"We live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups. I ask, in my writing, 'What is real?' Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms."
Philip K. Dick

Loving your art this one is busy, reminds me of if I took a journey through a major city metropolis and getting infused in the many happenings. I see a city overflowing with a multitude of activities . Taking in everything you present in this post I would say what we feel, the breath we breath and how we breathe as we react to all our encounters and experiences of this reality. In that moment the things that touch our hearts, cause us to grow and change, that moves us or not, and the words we speak in response to all we have beheld on any given day, these things be real.
YES! another wonderful analogy from you. this is what I love so very much to hear, how my paintings & drawings make the viewer feel & see. This is great and once again you have made my day! The cityscape & business of humanity is a predominant theme in a majority of my work . Thank you :)
Are these your paintings?
yes...they are all hand draw using inks i.e. sharpies, bics, gel pens. I start in the middle & work my way out to the edges of the paper. I get quite lost in them, sort of like my own personal imaginary universe. It's very therapeutic! Art has helped me overcome many things such as depression & addiction. Thank you so much for checking out my work Alao :)
Very nice work Helen
