Today’s composition began with a latex masking (frisket) design. I complied with my practice of the past few compositions, of shaking my paper while the frisket was still wet, causing it to streak. I dripped ink onto the paper in different places and blended those spots with watercolors.
I continually inspect the image that arises before me with each application of color. I modify the my choices of colors, as ideas occur to me. As the robots revealed themselves, I chose fields of colors that would accentuate them.

I like the relative formlessness of the robots and the almost electrical network of white space that seems to connect them.
These continue to be musical to me. (K)
A duet, perhaps? Seriously, Kerfe, that is interesting. Are you a synesthete; do you detect visual rhythm? Could you elaborate?
Thanks.

I’m not a synesthete that I know of; they just, yes, have rhythm and music to me. Almost like musical scores, abstracted. Does that make any sense?
Yes, makes sense. Kind of a visual rhythm. Thanks, Kerfe.
