About "The Edge of Eternity" and "Trans-Dimensionalism
or "Inter-Dimensionalism"
We have all
played cloud games as children, imagining faces and forms in the swirling
masses flowing across the sky. One day, years ago, as I was drilling for
uranium on our mining claims overlooking Castle Valley, (near Moab, Utah),
the weather grew nasty and a great wall of clouds boiled up the valley,
filling it completely. From my perch, high on the boom of our rig, at the
edge of a cliff hundreds of feet above the valley floor, it seemed that
the world dropped off into oblivion--that I was literally at the "Edge of
Eternity."
As amazing as
the reality was, the images it triggered in my imagination were
staggering. For years afterwards, the images kept coming. Unfortunately,
conventional art forms were far too restrictive to convey what I was
experiencing so, the images were trapped in my "mind." When I discovered
my "creative voice," Nov '87, I knew I had also found the means of
physically reproducing what I was experiencing in my imagination. This new
medium enabled me to produce art that is perpetually new, and capable of
generating an endless number of beautiful, stimulating effects. With
it, I can pass the creative "baton" to the Viewer, allowing him or her to
continue the creative process and express himself /herself artistically. I
was granted a
United States Patent for this new art form in 1990.
Because the
Viewer is transported from dimension to dimension, I have tentatively
named this new art form either "Trans-Dimensionalism" or
"Inter-Dimensionalism", (I haven't yet decided which I like best). Not coincidentally,
this medium has several interesting commercial applications: |
