In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks. This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images. Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr. In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com

For once, I have absolutely no idea what this is.
Amazing!
Have to wait for the others to define:))
I tried some playing with my photos yesterday, but without any acceptable result. I still prefer yours.
susupetal:
No need to wait ... just read the title.
hpy:
I'm happy that you've been giving it a try. I have no idea what photo editors or filters you have but, experimenting in a playful way is the road to success. Keep at it. :)
Well, yeah, I think so. Can't a person have an abstract objective? The response aside, cool piece, I like it.
shani thomas:
Thanks for the response and the comment. My personal opinion aside, I'm still in the dark on the question. :)
I agree cool piece, you know I am fond off gemetric lines.
This works so 3-dim
trijnie:
Thank you, Trijnie, and thanks again to Shani. :)
That is an interesting point you make/ask. I think I will need to get out the dictionary to see if abstract means what I think it does...I was wrong on iconic after all!
I disagree with your point about artists not taking responsibility for their piece by leaving it untitled. If I leave a piece untitled it's either I couldn't think of anything that sounded right or that didn't sound bland (I would call a Tuscany painting Tuscany as you know!) or it could be simply that I didn't want to put it in a box by giving it a label. Not signing it would be refusing to take responsibility for it. I have never thought how others might percieve an untitle piece in that respect so it is food for thought! Thanks for making my brain tick yet again:)

Thanks for your reply to this question. I suppose, when I think more about it, it's not as much the untitled aspect per se, as it is the combination of that with a statement such as, "let the viewer bring their own idea to the work" as an artist statement. I feel cheated by that point of view a little bit, personally. The issue is long and deep, where all sides are valid in their own way.
