Anamorphosis is a Renaissance painting technique which uses the principles of four perspectives to construct an alternate image within the frontal composition. It was used during the 15th century in Europe. I've seen the ocular evidence of these works. It pulls you in, and it is mesmerizing to stand in an art gallery for hours dreaming about what you are seeing. I realize the human capacity to alter perception has taken the longest time to develop within the European worldviews. How long it took is of less importance, from one perspective, and from another perspective it is devastating. Altering perception and perspectives as a spiritual training was intimately connected to the initiate and the community-at-large in traditional cultures. It was important for farmers, and hunters to delve deep into the consciousness of plants and animals in an interchange that kept the world revolving within and around the world. One need not physically travel the world to influence or keep the world revolving; not in the spiritual context of Earth centered ideologies.
Mereana, you have created a study through pictures that works the same way if one is so inclined to 'see' you and who you are from this angle and that angle. It is a spiritual journey for you to post them, and me to study what you photograph, and post in your photo galleries. I come back to them again and again for different reasons, and always see something I missed, or something else, or learn to see something you may, or may not have thought someone would see. It is a captivating exercise that takes within. - Gregory E. Woods 9/9/12
