Jeffree Skewes #4 Signal



Aligned to a rare cosmic gateway
this apparition
chance celestial slipstream
coupled its portal to relevant human instincts
motivations and desires

patience is always tricky
made uneasy by muted navigational
perceptions and obscure
meta-physic
calculations

now five major planets would
conjure a rare alchemy
briefly suspending the geometric mirage
for abstraction of another kind of purity
reason and purpose

providence a remedy
in the eye of the beheld
some resolve
for others it would cause activity in the imagination
and time to prepare

  1. Wonderful! I imagine it read as a news item in 1950 on Bizarro Radio.

  2. Beautiful colours, tones and textures in your art Jeffree. Gives me the impression of a chequered universe working as a series of multiple views/windows into other spaces, both here and there, and in deep space, too. Mesmerising, from where I am. Good stuff!

  3. Thank you Efi I your a re right I was thinking of a map from another time; older and channeling the renaissance astronomer, Copernicus who challenged the Euro/Christian centric view of the world and universe – something I am interested in too. So this map is like a folding out panel book to suggest a kind of archaic map device.
    In my current writing / image series (Silk on the Road) I'm aiming experimenting with ways to trigger a suitable narrative process which will hopefully unfold a plausible way to tell an allegorical story about a (perhaps) mystical journey or 'quest' a journey of self discovery as much a voyage and travel adventure.
