Hmm this is fascinating. My wide-image could very well be just the celestial energy motif I have stringing my art together. I have to put some thought into what I interpret yours as specifically. Let me get back with you on that :)
I remember liking astronomy, but I think the real root of the motif is from my imagination as a young kid, always trying to find the meanings to things when I was young. Finding ways to link unrelated things together, following my "all things are connected" mindset. I remember always carrying crystals and rocks with me as well.
I ran into you via @chowcollection, giving you a follow- you're producing some pretty cool content! I've also sponsored you for a membership with @steembasicincome, which provides you with a lifetime upvote on your posts- it's something I've taken up doing for promising new users. You should check them out to learn more.
I agree with you and Ulmer that artists work from subconscious attachments to powerful moments in childhood, but I also think it might be better for these foundations to remain subconscious to the artist. Great art always comes from the unique position and vision of the individual artist, but how much as artists should we be aware of what we are doing? What I mean to say is that the ideas and inspirations flow through us and if we let go of analyzing perhaps we are just pure channels of imagination made concrete in the work. Sometimes I feel it's better not to think and just do.
Love the photo btw .. mysterious and evocative ...
You make an important point. Too much analyzation can lead to over-conceptualization of the work that the artist is making, which could leave it dry, lifeless, forced. But might there be benefits in introspection, potentially to discover what moves the artist most, and from there, to figure out why? This is theoretically speaking, but I think uncovering some deeply personal symbols could benefit an artist, as long as he doesn't attach himself too closely to the embodying symbol or representation and further explores the mood/motive.
Yes, of course .. we are always meditating, even subconsciously, on our imagery and direction as artists. My main point is that its best in the studio to just approach the work without too much overthinking, at least for me.

:D Just saw this. Do you have any vivid memories of space related imagery from your childhood?
