The panel that EHO demonstrated here, or series of them presents an example to start with. ...gridcosm?level=2515

EHO did the first panel and some adjacent panels, which were painterly, her primary style of expression. It seems that perhaps the grid might have been going slow, but for whatever reason you placed an absolute square, a play on the reservation square, a motif if you will, against her work. As well your other panels are typically inconsistent ( blend non blend )

One might feel it fit to argue that your square took no effort, in the Blend School vein. But I think it is time to dig deeper and try to respectfully revitalize our thinking in regard to this matter.

I have come to feel more deeply it is a question of choice and decision, more specifically: imagination.

I recently completed 2 panels on the current level, which took little effort, yes they blend but it took relatively little effort -- what struck me ( ...gridcosm?level=2603) was a vision I had of the type of shot one might see while flying over Hawaii, or Rio de Janeiro, an aerial shot of mountains over a bay and I basically sketched out 2 panels to complete that.

IN 2515 A3: To link to EHO's panel one might have done the same thing, a sketchy complement perhaps, continuing in some way, however basicly her idea or scene, not even having to make representative forms, perhaps continuing somehow with color, some semblance of effort that to the casual viewer would generate two understandings.

1 -- the contributing artist had respect for the adjacent panel

2 -- the artist exercised some immediately discernable imagination and thought.

TCA I know you have the ability to present arguments that your panels do display this.... but let's be real: a square, with harsh line, which seemingly ignores 80% of **any** possible connections, keeping the subject image primarily as a 2D, flat ( some might say slapdash adhesion/collage ) image will always draw flak.

The overall question that anyone might think is -- what made the artist choose this and for the artist the question is -- why am I placing this there? I know I have had my moments of mania, drunkenness and imaptience, yet I can say I made that choice and knew the flak would be a comin.

Most times here on the grid I feel that the full possibilities of dimension and illusion within those 450 pixels are not fully explored and can say I do feel that square, harsh adjacent panels are the ones I understand and enjoy the least.
