Invented
Place
The
result of flashing images of villages
viewed
from a flying train on a slow day.
An
invented memory of a place I’d never been
appeared
in random lines
leaving
me in awe
of
memories
before
traveling between
here
and there.
The
result of a few coastal villages viewed on the train from Edinburgh to London
and back last week. They were just south of Edinburgh along the North Sea. The
villages flashed by between obstructions blurring them out along the
track. A single village formed with thoughts
of a younger me having once lived and then returning as the old man I am now. As
the train moved away from the coast, forests and green fields with spotted
puffs of sheep fading soon to oblivion and then sleep. And soon the dreams of living
in a village became an invented life, a future memory in this world I sometimes
still pretend to be part of.
It’s
okay. I’ll be back to sketching the more obvious illusions around me later
today.

Hi Anthony, I like this sketch a lot...This is the whole conceptual drawing.... The whole world one wants to explore and really be part of it, like you said... You are still the part! You are alive! Our memory really invents these unique places like composer creates unique from many absorbed pieces... and all they have eyes...looking at you...clinging for your memory...amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you..
DeleteIt does make one think as patterns form and are absorbed in less than expected ways.
