Description
Back in the mid-1970s, what I like to call my artsy-fartsy period, I experimented with a number of artistic techniques. At one point I taped some mylar to the wall of my living room. As the sun filtered through the windows during the day the reflections in the mylar would change. This is an example of what turned up.

Well, you know I'm going to like this. I refuse to consider any personal connection that might imply with "artsy-fartsy" The darker shadow(?) in the area that looks like wood grain, reminds me of a person, bent over, with his left arm raised and bent at the elbow and two very long fingers pointing down. I see an angry face in the center and half of a scared one on the far right. Very cool image! Great patterns. What is mylar?

This is one of the projects I use with my art classes. I have a lot of 7" or so cards with the stuff stapled to them in interesting curves, the task being to draw or paint the reflections. This involves the doer keeping the same point of view and concentrating very hard! I used to have a 4'x4' board with the same but it got so dusty that I ditched it this year. Arsty fartsy, indeed! Some of us earned our salaries by being thus!

MARVELOUS CREATION REALLY A GREAT EFFECT. I'M FASCINATED IT LOOKS A PAINTING

Stellar contrast with these ephemeral abstract figures, Mark. I don't know about artsy-fartsy, but that sure looks like the doorway to another dimension, an alternate universe, if you will, with wraithlike individuals you would rather avoid. Incidentally, I used to draw on mylar when I was doing technical illustration in the aerospace industry many moons ago. Excellent medium.

This is fun, I like it. I can see so many different pictures in it. Your not a psychiatrist are you? Lol. On the left I see a Knight with a squarish helmet. The center part looks like a chrome surf board, the right looks just plain scary! Nature can be so creative, all you need to provide is the mylar, sit back and watch the show! I like the artsy-fartsy stuff still. I used to do a similar thing. I'd scour the antique stores in CT, for old chandelier crystals, then string them up on wire and hang them across a window then wait for the light show.
