| OK now here is something to think about. . . Motif. . . Repetition. . . Rhythm. . . Photography. . I keep trying to find images which could already be in my environment to photograph. The part of this prompt that has me stumped is motif??? Is it personal? Is it universal? Is it part of a pattern language? While thinking about this topic for the past few days I have explored on the internet things that could be related to fiber, mostly. OK now to me paper is fiber too, right? I am just trying to be true to myself. Well, above is a portion of a box for a book. . . but it could be a design for a thread painting or a quilt? Or just a photograph. While contemplating this I found: http://www.patternity.co.uk/ OK, now you tell me what you would do! What is motif to you? |
Eggsistenial rumination in the temporary nature of artworks. I visited my favorite museum years ago where I saw a tour bus. On the destination sign it said, "Just Passin Through," which is exactly what I believe.

I have been thinking about motif for a few days now after reading your posts. Can layering be a motif? When I write I am interested in words or sets of words that have more than one meaning; in a way it feels to me like building word sculptures because depending on which way you approach them they tell you something different.
When I was painting, I was interested in glazing and being able to gilmpse the structure of things below the surface. But also something where the image itself may be very simple and minimal, open enough to leave lots of space to see it anew every time I give it my attention...leitmotif of polyvalence.
