Found in Thought : My Ideation

Jay Lockwood CarpenterComment

A persistent, personal project, of illustrative reactions to the idea of 'Syncretism'--the contact, experimentation, and union of seemingly disparate (often conflicting) ideations-- with the resulting emergence of new, synergistic forms. On a personal level, the synthesis of extrinsic 'forces' (whether cultural derivatives, biological anomalies, or otherwise) within the creating of a singular entity, is the focus of much of my thoughts, time, and work. The concept pervades more than just physical exchanges; as it has a socio-political relevance to humanity; and whether the result is adverse (conflict spawning drama) or favourable (to advance, and to progress) the implications are considerable. The 'self' is likely an illusionary creation to drive such disparate entities, each working in concert, as a government autonomously rules a nation.

These are a series of notations that I had written towards the beginning of the year 2016, I thought I would post them now, as this concept that I have developed, still informs, and compels much of my current thought processes; as it had done then, so to it does now.
