@Hallowedart Yes! And I can't quite put my finger on what doesn't entirely jive for me about creating cloud-fueled art but, personally, it all feels too fast and easy a spiritual stand, whatever that means! I love John's washes. Echoes for me of Klee's supernal touch.

Copy of tweet thread here: Oddly, this animation makes me think of a professor I had in an art appreciation course who might have asked, "Where is the line between brilliance and mere cleverness in art?" Not odd at all! I sincerely resonate - a vague impression of a kind of cheap enchantment implicit to the gesture, eh? Certainly, an ambivalence I weighed. In my defense, the semiotic trickery was driven by the larger purpose of the thread narrative. Its truer beauty, its context.
