Description Acrylic on Canvas. 50' by 30'. August, 2009.
This picture has to do with my mental image of Flimsy, an afterworld that I'm describing in my novel 'Jim and the Flims.' I wanted to fit and endless world into a finite volume---it might be that Flimsy (the afterworld) is inside each electron. I turned to M. C. Escher's engraving, 'Smaller and Smaller I,' as an example of how to fit infinity into a nutshell. You have things shrink as they approach the middle.
I started with six streams of beings: humans, cuttlefish, dogs, ants, lizards, and birds. And then, again following Escher, I filled in the blank areas with globby beings designed to fiit the available spaces.
