Description

Hello.

I have decided to add here for you to view. This piece which carries in the image its title also. It is difficult to tell you what I exactly mean or experienced during the events which brought to being the piece. In fact, as I 'created' or 'constructed' the item/entity of a seeming cube. It was at the time a cardboard form which was as I fashioned it at the time. A sizable and unknown quantity to be thought of as a 'Probe' in its first appearance. Then, as I observed this cardboard form, as I built it...I began to paint it in acrylic white when the 'cubic' representation was pieced together as far as it seemed to be going at that time. And upon the final touch of that paint. As though realized at the very instance. It became an 'Arrival'.

This (above) description of the Probe Arrival was indeed in 1995. And may I offer that despite its here placement now in an image, and of fashion to be understood by you (the viewer) as being essentially a latter and re-constructed item. I would counter and insist that no matter how I am or think. It is as it is and will be and always shall be the same item in any form I have it. It is not a facsimile of the say, original. NO, it is what it is. It remains and endures as complete in any manner I have it.

What do I mean exactly?

Well, the item of the Probe Arrival has many aspects. Some of which I have still. And the cubes, for there are several, are all involved as being the same item.

How to illustrate for you?

Well, I shall attempt to. And to do this I shall now place the four other aspects to the Probe Arrival here also. Please see the display of them and know I shan't be explaining further at this point. Yet to view, one is able to swipe the main image here seen, and track through to see my presentation.

I will leave them here now, and hope to my fullest that (your) interest brings comment. There are mystery and enigma to these for me. And yet I am convinced of use for them in the current period I am within today and going forwards. You see, thought and consideration; the notions of mind and otherness with self and say (if i may be bold), a contact to create in a unified fashion with elements of presence, and which guides one's self in order form a language of understanding in/with this Universe of possibilities.

Simply expressed : togetherness.

I believe this is now best left as presented to you here-and-now.

Many thanks.

John L.
