The Choice. 12″ x 9″. collaged drawing by clinock. (sepia toned)
‘The 100′ series was initiated by my 100th Post in April 2012. As text and images are the essence of my blog my intention is to present 100 pieces of text based art from historical and contemporary artists and from my own hand. To view the series to date click on ‘The 100’ in my Category Menu.

So many things to see in this print. I love the retro quality and the reference to Escher’s impossible objects.

thanks Cheryl…Escher’s puzzle is one of the choices, open but impossible… the other is the locked trunk…therein lies the dilemma…

Fascinating concept John and I really love the drawing/collage image & textures. Raises questions both about ‘life’ decisions but also the process of art making as well.

As always, John, your work intrigues me. I like how the snowflakes add to the mystery of the elements. After clicking to view without the WordPress snowflakes, then coming back to view again, the snowflakes reminded me of gently falling tears.
