The Law of Nature is a chaotic one. There is no balance.<\/p>\n
In his discussion of Hegel, the philosopher\u00a0Slavoj \u017di\u017eek<\/a>\u00a0argues, “Hegel is \u2013 to use today’s terms \u2013 the ultimate thinker of autopoiesis, of the process of the emergence of necessary features out of chaotic contingency, the thinker of contingency’s gradual self-organisation, of the gradual rise of order out of chaos.”[11]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n With the\u00a0swirl painting \u2018The Balance of Nature\u2019 I wanted to\u00a0get\u00a0the dynamism of abstract expressionism action painting in a pop art style and fuse the two. \u00a0The energy and disorganization of life in a handy, colourful clean capsule.\u00a0I was trying to\u00a0think what the birth of something – a life or\u00a0the\u00a0inception of an idea would look like visually. The moment of inception.<\/p>\n The brief blossoming of British’Psychedlia’ was in 1966. ‘The psychedelic life’ couldn’t last but maybe you can hang it on your wall to remind you.<\/p>\n When I got scared as a kid I would read the Beano or the Dandy and they would instantly make me feel better. Reassuring visual philosophers like the\u00a0pioneering animators – Tex Avery who visualized abstract ideas in humorous\/inventive understandable\u00a0ways.\u00a0I always like the swirling hypnotizing eyes in Tex Avery cartoons. They are reassuring and discombobulating in the same turn.<\/p>\n Ideas are everything<\/p>\n Creators Prayer<\/em><\/p>\n Ackowledge the ideas makers<\/p>\n For without them nothing would happen<\/p>\n They are the seed breathers<\/p>\n The eternal sprouters<\/p>\n The tinder gardeners<\/p>\n They are the inception trustees<\/p>\n The imagination interns<\/p>\n The polite persuaders<\/p>\n They are the birth givers<\/p>\n The hypnotisers, the blue sky fliers<\/p>\n The wonder wizards<\/p>\n The furnace containers<\/p>\n Recognize the ideas makers!’<\/p>\n – Christian Furr 2012<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ‘I suppose\u00a0I am psychedlic at heart.
