"SDF Strange Patterns"- The Context

Particles come together, form patterns, and atoms result. Atoms come together, form patterns, and molecules results. Molecules come together, form patterns, and everything results. Patterns are everywhere. And yet, at the same time, there's so much randomness in this world. But if you look closely enough, even in the utter depths of insanity, strange patterns start to emerge. From the spirals on your fingerprints to the devastation of a tornado, there is a larger hand in everything, assembling a blueprint far beyond our simple human understanding.

Art is always affected by patterns. Maybe it's recurring lines of dialouge or speech. Maybe the artist can't help but paint an old man in the corner of every one of his paintings. Mayber the singer just has to hit that one note, every time she sings. But they're there. The strange patterns that ultimately consume every artist.

Me especially. I have patterns that are intentional, such as spirals, butterflies, birds, and references to Alice in Wonderland. And I have patterns that are unintentional, such as the way I draw hands and feet. Why do these patterns exist? Why am I drawn to draw them? What greater hand is at work? The search for the answers to these strange questions to these strange patterns is what keeps me going. That and caffeine.
