    I had to look up mokume; and honestly, glad I did... it gives a certain level of appreciation for the swirling patterns. I thought it at first clouds, then patterns in wood, then stone, then sand. Very peaceful.

    Most mokume I've seen is jewelry. I've often thought about the future of jewelry as micro scenes. For instance, if this were shrunk down exactly as it is. Upon its creation the creator gives you a looking glass, and you memorize in detail every flux and fold. When someone else looked at it they wouldn't be able to see everything, and only you would know its true face. And if were a common thing, wouldn't it be nice for some kind someone to carry with them a looking glass, which they used to observe closely a stranger's micro art? Someone who really wanted to know the details. It would separate them from the rest. I would have this Metamorphosis on my arm and underneath a sleeve so that no one would know about it but me.

    Your talent is amazing. I could look at this for hours. I'd love to have this hanging in my house.

  • A former member wrote: it feels like something unreal, like a painting i should be able to dip my whole hand into - a wonderful transformation from reality to art

    Beautiful! Love your eye in these. You have inspired me to get some more of my photos back up. Ciao, T/S Scholar

  • A former member wrote: Soft and scalloped like the bat's wing, faces in quicksand ripples disjointed, sculpted by time in nature's timeless motion, layered and branched, rippled in rolling eyes and reptilian right angles. Bliss, this. Scholar

    I really am feeling this it evokes chaos and tranquility in me some how.

  • A former member wrote: Reminds me of storms... like plants reaching out from chaos. Its beautiful.

  • A former member wrote: Gives me the impression of a planet in a near by solar system. The surface of it.

  • A former member wrote: for a long time, I actually questioned whether this was sand or water or…? It’s thought provoking, really. I find myself exploring the shapes and curves, seeing little portraits in the abstraction.

    I like that.I see a depth illusion in it, can't tell if it is up close or far away..but it looks like melted moon clay or frozen mercury.Nice.

    wow, it seems difficult to tell the distance of how far away you were from the ground when this was taken, if it weren't for the little tufts of vegetation. this is art! i love it!

    It's easy to get lost in there. It reminds me of when I was very young and would look through rocks, picking out the most interesting ones and looking deeper and deeper, imagining whole worlds in each striation. Scholar

  • A former member wrote: :O. great photo. the tonal depth is amazing. Also, this brook is so alien at first glimpse that it acts like a puzzle; what is it. Good photo. You should do more black and white, you have a good talent for it and a great eye for composition. Scholar
