When you move through life you are traveling through time. Time is all around you and so like this image as you move time moves with you.
This image has an interesting attribution. It started when I bought the artist Tony Karp a skull so he could study anatomy. It was a birthday present one year. It was back in a time when we lived in New York and you could walk up Columbus Avenue and go into the store that sold skulls and skeletons of creatures from around the world. Some were alive in recent times and some long ago.
So Tony decided that he would create an image by placing the skull on the scanner. As he played with the image it began to look to him as though it was traveling through time and that is how he named this work.
When Tony looks at things with his minds eye, be it a problem or an image, he turns it around, upside down, sideways, backwards, forwards, inside out. In doing this he is able to see things most people wouldn't. Once he sees something that intrigues him he will work on it like a sculptor, molding it, carving it, tweaking it.
His tools are virtual and he can easily make many iterations and then tweak anyone of them. He is like a butterfly in a field of flowers and he sometimes flits from one version of an image to another until he finds one he likes and then like the butterfly he may linger and savor the image until he is satisfied.
You know he satisfied with an image when he prints it. The final print doesn't happen until he has tried different settings and paper. Sometime the print will send him back to image and he will work on it some more. His patience is endless. (It is that patience that helps him put up with me. I can be a very trying artist's muse at times.)
What makes this even more interesting is that Tony Karp the technologist created the environment where Tony Karp the techno-impressionist works and plays. Most artists don't have that capability.
Read what Tony has written about the Techno-Impressionist Museum. He built this museum and it houses many of his images.
Check out the different collections in the museum, they contain images and different ways of viewing art on-line. The collection called
Views shows an interesting way of looking at art on-line.
