yep.... kinda..... actually it was built off of an old partially finished drawing that I had abandoned .... I flipped it on it's side and worked from there .... the dream was in the back of my head though.....
I am working on something else more directly connected but it is really frustrating me right now it is not going my way....the tentacles have been black and red and white ..... this isn't it either but i am sick of it .... I hat painting! in the dream they were black but that looked too horror show... I like horror show but with this I wanted a bit more complacency.... and red and black read wrong....

Sculpy .... painted with acrylics ....the figures are the natural color of the material....I messed up a little on what I wrote before.... Basically I keep re-painting the background... It is better than it was at one point but I am still not satisfied.... Originally I wanted black,like the dream... Then I tried red but the mood was wrong.... So now I have what you see here.
Just the material with no paint looked best....but there's no going back

Hit the undo key!
It looks like wax, especially the flesh. It's interesting to see your patterns in 3D. Makes me wonder if I perceive the dimensions of your drawings the same way you do, the way you intend them to be understood.
I like it. I'm reading the tentacles as vines because of the color. The whole thing reminds me of some Christian decoration from my childhood, but I can't quite remember what it was. Is this going to be displayed on a wall, tabletop, a platter stand?

OK ... here is the progression chobeksbox.blogspot.com/2016/0…
You know it does look like the religious saint thing in the movie "Carrie " (if you have seen it) .... maybe I should try to get the eyes to follow you.
...hmmm ...."intend them to be understood" .... what do I intend?
I don't know how I feel about my patterns in 3 dimensions ... I think these are removed from what I do with pen and ink .... my wire work is closer to my drawing but more like my line work than my patterns....
Ok I admit it. I don't know what I am doing...
I kind of just do things.... and whatever someone else sees is fine with me .... my head is a mess. Sometimes I make confusing things because of it ..... Sometimes I get lucky and things gel in a way that feels open and ambiguous but still satisfying.... I guess that's what I hope
this is still stuck in confusing for me .... can I pull it out ... save it from disaster?!?!? we shall see
I would be on the wall.... it isn't true 3d ... it has a few blind spots that don't look so hot ..... fine for a wall but table top it would be a weakness.

Maybe intent is the wrong word, maybe not. Subconscious intent to be more precise.
Anyway, we all interpret everything differently from one and other.
I'm just speaking in spatial terms, not cerebral terms. Spatial or spacial, which do you prefer?
I imagined it laying flat on a table or a desk or bureau or something.

I see what you mean....
I was just surprised by my reaction to the word intent... I didn't know how to respond LOL
it occured to me that I have more built in ambiguity (spatially) with my 2d work..... I have thoughts that wander while drawing ...at times to me my patterns are a skin...an energy coursing through and a point of contact with some other deep abyss that the drawing drains off into.... Sometimes simultaneously.
with the sculpture my hands are a bit more tied .... At least the way I have been approaching it
I will need to think about this a bit more there is no reason I should think of sculpture as more limiting..... It is odd that I have come to that.
-I did think of this as looking down on a bed from above .... So I think table top would be nice ..... But the bottom edge looking up is the blind spot I dislike, so I'm not sure how it would work.... Maybe I will give that angle a little more attention so there is that option.
spatial I think ... I tried to type it out quickly and see if I could catch myself being natural with it ....
that "me"s discussion was interesting BTW

Oh yeah, the mes link? Some good, funny points.
I wrote spatial first but double checked it and found out both are acceptable.
Spacial looks too much like special :]
Sculpture will have a physical finite terminus or border to it's shapes. You can't really fake that infinite or dissolving, trailing off sort of energy
like you would in a drawing or a painting. I think my swirly drawings are similar to some of your work in that regard.
So maybe sculpture is unavoidably limited in that sense, but it also of course has possibilities that 2d media doesn't.
