It wasn't easy, nor the beginning nor the modelling, but the result it's very close to its idea in my mind: a box linked to the ground with gentle slopes, like a tent; a spiral hole in the middle creates an ascensional path to the top; a big cylindrical hole creates a flux through it; a wall stops this flux; eventually a water blanket on it. It looks like this:
To individuate the final form I've used the Gold Section rule several times, but once after another, I've realized that Armony is not only the proportion of the parts, the gold section or whatelse, armony is the result of a complex interaction between the components.
I've reached this conclusion looking at every situation and analyzing the changing of meaning following different points of view: the felt-in-love boy of the first painting is sharing his love with another person, so there would be 2 people in the whole world that can understand his face and his feelings. It's almost the same for El Greco's picture, there are two lovers again but one is the protagonist, the other is God, so another one time the unicity of the complicity between the two. It's obvious in the middle picture because as well we move from the point of view chosen by the artist, we get a complete different prospective that have different meaning, a different message.
"They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"
'On the road', J. Kerouac
"Moon River, wider than a mile,
I’m crossing you in style, some day.."
'Moon river', H. Mancini
"The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched, as they surely will be, by the better angels of our nature"
'American history X', D. Mc Kenna
Myshtic is the love felt by the young man in Giorgione's picture, love that's nearer to heaven than humanity. Stylish is the nature, the country, the bucolic view of Van Gogh. What's Interesting in the picture painted by El Greco is the ecstasy exchange between the angel and the protagonist.
The meanings of an adjective, a part from the definition in the dictionary, it's personal. My concept of "stylish, interesting, mystic" is unique and I'll try to explain their meanings for me: Interesting is what is not clear for the senses, so if the totality of an entity it's obvious, there will be nothing to look after and the curiosity is turned off. Mystic is the light, the sunshine on your face: it comes from the outer space, the coldest place in universe, and it's so warm and naturally bring happiness to people. Style is evident, it doesn't depend on personal taste, when something it's stylish is clear and everyone would admit it.
I've started from an Initial paradigm, which is the direct application of the adjective to some aspects, and then I've increased the complexity of the project in a Organitional paradigm, where I've explained the translation of my aims into details.
V1: The feeding bottle reminds me warm, tender moment, and the connection between the kitchen and the lounge room must be round shaped and also warm.
V2: The translation of the Velcro shoes is an adult, defined profile and the entrance must be like that.
