Comments on TSK Gallery

I'm starting a new thread for comments on the TSK Gallery or discussion of any of the images or quotes.  I am moving several recent posts from there over to this new thread.  Feel free to continue to comment on the Gallery here, or to add your own contributions to the Gallery on the other thread.

	A fantastic gallery, Balder! I am strongly fascinated by modern arts too and examples of BAUHAUS for example. Who created these expressive images? Albert

	Hi, Albert, I'm glad you enjoy it.  Feel free to contribute to the gallery if you have any images and quotes you are inspired to share. The images I've chosen are all photographs - photos of different microscopic objects or systems.  You may recall that the first TSK book featured a number of colorful, abstract images, which were also microphotographs.  So, I'm just following in that tradition…

Re: Comments on TSK Gallery

Okay, maybe the answer is obvious, but not to me :) 

So I'll ask:  I'd like to contribute a couple of images but one is a captured image of internet activity resembling a nebula and one is a painting.  My question is - would they be congruent with the gallery images or should I stick to photographs of microscopic images?

Thank you!
E.

Re: Comments on TSK Gallery

I hope this is the obvious answer you anticipated…

Any image that moves you!

Re: Comments on TSK Gallery

It's not the answer I anticipated, but it's the answer I like the best!

Thank you!

Re: Comments on TSK Gallery

Balder, I really like the latest addition to the Gallery.  My first thought was it reminded me of ribbon candy I enjoyed as a kid on weekend drives to Amish country. 

I loved this part of the accompanying excerpt: 

“As we begin our inquiry, let us imagine that we are donning the silken robe of Knowledge, a coat of many colors – a magical garment that gives us warmth, comfort, aesthetic delight, and a sense of deep refinement.”

Knowledge does indeed offer delight and comfort :) 

Thank you,
E.

Re: Comments on TSK Gallery

Thank you, Erin – I like it too.  It is a close-up image of a moth's wing.  I chose it, obliquely, because of the association of the moth, in some shamanic traditions, with wisdom and knowledge…

…and because it reminded me of the weave, perhaps, of a coat of many colors…
