| Sketchbook entry Photograph is not as clear as I wanted. But, the sketch is preliminary. |
This sketch was done on a sleepless night. It's more contemplation than drawing.
And, when I can't sleep, I think about questions probably beyond my abilities to answer; but, I'm a guy, and that will never stop me from trying.
Man and Nature was the subject that night. The conclusions were something like the following.
Nature is order, the first order people knew.
It's the basis for the geometric, platonic solids we still use today for construction, science, etc. They are, metaphorically, distilled versions of nature's order.
Man vs Nature is not a conflict between chaos and order. It's a struggle between two different orders.
A losing battle for Mankind, at least in the longrun, both sides wielding weapons of distruction, removing what does not fit in thier version of order. Man only dominates for a short while before nature retakes her ground, destroying man's creation as surely as man destroys hers.
This simply is the struggle for survival. Natures plan is for us to be food for someone, even if it is just the bacteria in our decomposing bodies. Of course, being people, we have other ideas about that.
At this point my thinking changes into a question.
How did I get there from this stupid doodle? How can I better express this in drawing format? I'm hungry.
I need to get more sleep.
