There can be a 'spirituality', and 'Eden', found in the natural world this needs to include both the 'light' and 'dark', and acknowledge potential idealism. *****My photography, 'Real/Unreal' series, 'Dynamic Earth' series, 'Opus Magnum' series, is about world beaches visited, their visual 'outer' landscapes, and their 'inner' microscopic awe-inspiring sand grains it is about ways of perceiving large to small, outer to inner, inner to outer. I re-question the personal and wider meaning in each artwork. ******For my 'Glass and Light' series, I have revisited earlier work, particularly of the Australian 'Sculpture by the Sea' 2013/14 exhibitions. I have learned I sometimes unknowingly tap into the 'undercurrents' of our lives, of our world, bringing something to the surface to then express this in artwork for others' further responses. ![]() Often I work with 'lines', metaphorical and real. ******I work/have worked with a variety of materials and processes photography, paper, book arts and the written word, glass, and built sculpture, natural or recycled materials. Through images, words and ideas, often spontaneous and intuitive, it is their gradual realisation on paper, or through 'making', by which I 'research' and find new knowledge. ![]() ******My art is an ongoing personal evolution and 'journey' a conversation and relationship with the world. I am also beginning thoughts about a book to be published on the same theme. This is involving sculpture - provisionally for a large international outdoor exhibition - fine art textiles, and prose and poetry with book arts. I am currently (Autumn 2023) beginning work on a year-long+ project entitled 'Questions of Home'. This series of photographs is ongoing and may evolve! This photo was taken with a optical light microscope, combined with a digital camera, and used image stacking software for focal depth. My artwork proposes to add some 'grains' to the scales of humanity's world soul. As an artist I can develop my Self and my work so that I am contributing new consciousness in some infinitesimal way to others lives, communities and to the 'Opus Magnum'. This Self-development is not only for ourselves, but done for others, our communities and ultimately the good of our kind and our natural Earth environment. Within modern times with seemingly less and less helpful cultural, containing, spiritual ethos, this seems to be becoming an issue for the individual. We are forever incumbent, I believe, to work in the service of our own developing Selves, in whichever manner and to whatever 'level' we are able, in growing consciousness. I have a deep and emotive response to both the visual beauty and the idea of this incredibly tiny grain of sand. They are possible indicators of ocean health. Its species is one of hundreds of thousands to be found around the world with differing external protective test (outer covering) forms, and its evolutionary lineage covers hundreds of millions of years. The grain is a 'foraminifer', a minuscule marine organism. A small grain of sand (0.6mm), collected in a random handful from Tuerredda Beach, Sardinia. Small and invisible as this contribution may be, it is yet an Opus Magnum…" (C G Jung Collected Works 16, para. You'll need to create a folder called Opus Magnum GIFs (or whatever you want to call it, just change the code too) before running, but this will take every gif on your desktop and put it into a folder, then check the name of the gif and sort it once more by puzzle name.Opus Magnum - Questions of Consciousness "… perhaps laying an infinitesimal grain in the scales of humanity's soul. _os.rename("".format(gifFolder, ID, gif)) GifFolder = os.path.expanduser("~\Desktop\Opus Magnum GIFs")ĭesktop = os.listdir(os.path.expanduser("~\Desktop"))ĭesktopPath = os.path.expanduser("~\Desktop") Just replace them with a tab for every 2 underscores: The underscores are to keep the tab formatting, which steam doesn't do otherwise -_. If you have Python (3, but can be modified for 2 pretty easily) and are using Windows, something like this should work. ![]()
