...the weather is frightening,
the thunder and lightning,
seem to be having their way....
i hear you say that sometimes you prefer the version on the computer,
i think its because we have the chance to rework our art one more time
or maybe more than once,
are you able to embrace the computer as a valid artistic medium?
Just wrote a long comment and lost it all. The gist--the way you remember, my saying things offhand can be dangerous! (that's good!) My point was that the computer version heightens contrast and intensity--especially on dramatic black ground. But of course the qualities of an original work (no matter the medium, as long as you see the touch) remains paramount. The computer pretty much gets rid of that. We're back to Walter Benjamin's notion of AURA ("the qualities of an original, at a certain distance..." That last part is everything.) Same as when you see the card for a show before you see the actual painting--always hoping it won't be a let down. Take a look at the work of MARY FRANK (if you don't know)--her work is ALL original in this sense...
