RE: Grandma Spiderwebs and the Darkness Invisible - an illustrated fairytale
Dear Creative Carl, there’s so many evocative collaborations, here, conceptual and actual! What a dense web you all weave of music, nature, concepts, story and art. Your mother-in-law is an artist — she should consider exhibiting her collection. You’ve made it come together & alive with your fairytale and remarkable digital art.
Tim Burton would be proud of all of you 🧛♂️
Meantime, I will muse some on darkness invisible as I revisit this fine post. ♥️
Couldn't resist the web you weave line, eh? LOL I would say low hanging fruit but it is more like a low hanging fly wrapped up in silk. I am going to tell mother-in-law what you said RE her web collection - that is going to make her day!
The darkness invisible line is really what made the whole thing gel and got me started thinking about a fairytale. A friend of mine reacted with that line (darkness invisible) when I showed off an early iteration of one of the alien art pieces and it vibrated with me.
Also you made me personally happy with the Tim Burton reference :) Repurposing the familiar in service of the surreal - Burton is one of the masters.
Much love - Carl
Haha, nope couldn't resist :P Love line about wrapped up in silk and used in a very short poem of mine (featured on NPR)
Seriously, though, very impressed with your mother-in-law (truly new ideas are hard to come by) and her collaboration with nature is the best way to study it and, paradoxically, to give spider web long life ... maybe, even, immortality.
Re purposing the familiar in service of the surreal. Yes, brother, this is what we try to do, with fine estranging eyes, because the ordinary is miraculous
