"seed" Posted by Hello a consequence of this sense of organics, recognising as I mentioned regarding 'cornered stone' the implication of something further, is the notion in another thematically related work, 'seed'... here, the growth factor is in 'spreading the civilization', so to speak, by extending the habitat to new areas... this is not only in regards to the buildings themselves, but with regard to the land - note that this scene is of a terraformed craterland, obviously another world, obviously a look to the future... this yet another aspect of my renderings, my sense of life, my wisdom of life - that there are two ways to view the world... one is looking to the past - nostalgia... the other is looking to the future... one is a retreat from living... the other is an affirmation of living... I say this because biologically there are only two choices to make - grow or die... this tallies in with Rand's observation on the purpose of Art - to show, for its own sake, what the artist considers to be important - a visualization of values, '...the experience of being in a world or universe wherein those values have been successfully achieved'... as she also added, 'Art ...is a metaphysical mirror of the person's soul,' in which '...what should be reflected is in the nature of a salute.'...
