Daydreamers

'The poet lives a daydream that is awake but above all, his daydream remains in the world, 

facing worldly things. It gathers the universe together and around and in an object'
(Bachelard, The Poetics of Space)

 

In the immense yet fragile diversity of our linear, temporal world, we may enter the non temporal cyclical and infinite while 'daydreaming', just like the flamingos meditate on one leg. Volcanoes erupt, space is being explored scientifically and birds go about looking for daily food while flowers keep on blooming. Let be ...

Art is an act of daydreamed instances.

'Give sense to the vulgar, give mysteriousness to the common, give the dignity of the unknown to the obvious and the trace of infinity to the temporal'
- Novalis*

Altered scale, varying viewpoints, a crowd enters the waters in a ritual of 'baptism'...under the protection of a Rare Bird...
A hybrid biotope of image segments, drawing and watercolor elements combined into what becomes a complex collage of a place transcending limitations of space and time.
Macrocosmic yet microcosmic vision, an allegory.

(was made during the period around my birthday on 1st of April)
