So why powerline poles?
Interesting question to the never ending question I ask myself. Why powerlines? hmmmm well, to be exact powerlines mean a couple different things to me. First off, they represent communication and connection. Second the shape of them resembles a cross, to which I am fully fascinating myself with finding my own beliefs in religion, and every time i go down the road, i can't help but see the shapes of them as crosses. The powerlines go through the arms of the "crosses" much where jesus supposedly had his hands. Through those hands and that imagery, the catholic religion wants us to believe that by his actions we are saved. It's their form of communicating to their public.
Ok, that got a bit drawn out and maybe a bit over the top. But to be honest, no one ever sees them standing there. Powerlines are EVERYWHERE yet we forget the huge impact they have on our life. Much like the powerlines gives us energy.. as does the sun. We all forget how important the sun is. And to be honest with you, even though I've never met you... I believe god to be the sun and the moon. god is nature, god is what ever good thing you want to believe in that will get you through the next day. the most silent things in my life, but make the most impact on me, are the sun and the moon.... or in other words "god".
There you go my friends, the extensive meaning behind powerlines. I've never really typed it out like that except for in this little thing I wrote. Please take a second and read another passage about why I choose to draw powerlines. If I were to get into this, it would last hours, which I'm sure you could do without... but if you like looking through my art, just see how the powerlines are placed in the pieces. What are they connecting, what is their role? It's all there, just use your imagination.
funny how a simple answer could turn into such an extended explanation...
