in relation. (thoughts outloud)

how do we see objects? in relation to ourselves and in relation to other objects within space. that space is, however, a result of place and time. time being a measurement of our own accordance. place is affected by where we have been before. 'cuts in space' is then under the term of our own devices. as a painter when composing a painting, the compostition is understood by how one defines the space with the objects in the picture plane in relation to each other(the objects). the mystery and the myth come from the lack of understanding in the difference between the viewer and the painter's point of view. how about the painter's point of view the following day as they return to the scene of the crime. there is the old stable question 'when is a painting done?'. i have always thought is was when it was out of reach of the painter's brush. Any deciding point for stopping could be argued that this point of rest is a finished point. developed to a certain recognition and approval. in relation to understanding. an understanding to the intent of the artist. whose gamble is it? whose deal is it?
