Cosmic Nipple in the Corner of My Bedroom

This is the original Cosmic Nipple…the one that I painted on the ceiling in the corner of my bedroom. The interesting part about this is that it was painted before I started writing my theories…though I was already thinking of them, so maybe it isn’t so odd. It seems to represent the multi dimensional grid that warps this way and that, depending on one’s position on the perspective horizon.

I have also created many checker boards that are warped and abstracted from the original grid in much this same way. It could be argued that the game of checkers is an abstracted version of war or conquest. The terrain of a real war is much more complex and has been abstracted to a board game. I am now taking that simplified abstraction and creating something more abstract and more complex. A wave of reality turning into a wave of abstraction turning into a wave of reality turning into a wave of abstraction.
