"A man sets out to draw the world. As the years go by, he peoples a space with moving images of provinces, kingdoms, streets, bays, ships, islands, chairs, rooms, instruments, stars, horses, and individuals. A short time before he dies, he discovers that the patient labyrinth of lines traces the lineaments of his own face."

Every voodle seems to be an ideal plane inserted into the realm of reality, muses Sam Renseiw while compiling an intriguing, fairly complex and condensed montage of interior gazes, extracted back into outward appearances. View the puzzling, fragmented piece, encompassing a personal endoscopic travel, fixed interior tableaux of otherwise inaccessible theatrical spaces and reflective vistas of minute, fleeting passage by clicking here or on the links above.

" It seems likely that the outside world never broke through into the universe he carried within him, and that, in all the countries he visited, he saw only that which he had put there in advance... "

View the creative act, going from intention to realization through a chain of totally subjective reactions, by clicking here, or on the links above.
