Most of these images were felt, not thought.
The reason for their creation is because they can be created.
Creative Principle at work, playing.
I point in a certain direction for the viewer to complete the equation; 
she/he may recognize some aspect of the self in the piece, 
if so, two parts of the whole have communicated.
They are glimpses into The Vastness where everything comes from.
