RE: Original Tetractys Poem by enternamehere
Gosh, I love the idea of tetractys. Don't you love it when math and art come together? Especially when there's triangles involved. I think there's something harmonious about the composition when math plays a role in the structure.
It's a great read. It's amazing how much is conveyed through one long sentence and the others build up and break down from it.
The dog tessellation is perfect!!!! That dog is me through the course of a day - happy-sad-happy-sad-happy-sad. Did you use a stencil again?
Hm, I've been complaining about the summer endlessly for the past week. Summer in Chennai is HOT. The temperature peaked to 41 degrees yesterday and I fell sick with a throat pain and cold from it. I try to stay in til about 5pm after which there is the nicest summer breeze so it's quite nice to get off my ass and go play some badminton/ swimming.
If Chennai summers were to have a mascot, it would be the mango. We LOVE our summers simply because it's mango season. Find me an Indian who doesn't like mangoes and I'll...tell you they're out of their minds.
That's right, art is math manifested. Maybe that's why both art and math can be considered universal languages. If that's the case, art, math & love are the trifecta.
You like the Happy-Sad Dog! Yes, I used a stencil for this one as well. In fact, I put a picture of the stencil in the post about H-S Dog if you'd like a look. We're all just happy-sad dogs on the inside, right? (That sounds so odd) :D
Whhhew, I thought summers here in TX were hot! It's only 38° here this week, not so bad except for the peak hours between 2 pm - 6 pm. Take it easy in that heat, madam, that stuff will get you. Are you feeling back to normal now?
Mangoes are indeed delicious, although I doubt I've ever had one as fresh as the ones you can access. I bet they make a refreshing smoothie!
OH, just the imagery that art, math and love as trifecta conjures is so satisfying! I can't believe I missed the H-SDog post! Haha, we ARE all just happy-sad dogs at the end of the day.
Well, the summer is right now killing me because I've just been indoors for about a week with this cold. I should be back up on my feet soon! Weather wise, it's hot but also super breezy because of the sea closeby. So I enjoy a good breeze throughout the day.
When the breeze gets together with shade, summer is totally enjoyable. That still direct sunlight stuff is the real kicker. Good to hear you're recuperating, take care!
