The strange tale of Field Effect.
I should warn you now, I am quite insane. Bear with me, this
will take some time to explain.
It began on the 9th July 2009. I was a perfectly normal person
up until that day, or so I thought. I hope I still am,
but it's doubtful :)
I was sitting at my desk working from home, when I had an
extremely sharp pain in my head. I slumped off my chair, onto
the floor - and fell unconscious. I awoke a few minutes later
and everything had changed.
From that moment forward, I have had a sound in my head so loud,
that for the first three weeks after it happened, I was unable
to leave my bed. It literally crushed every single waking moment
into a torture of cacophonous noise. I wished for death during
those early weeks, but I had a family that loved and supported
me through it. They still do.
At the same time, the images began to form. To this day,
whenever I close my eyes, I see images. I have seen millions of
them.
In 2012, I decided to start recreating some of the images I was
seeing. I had never painted before, so I chose watercolour
because it seemed the easiest medium to use - when considering I
had many, many images to recreate.
I painted between 2012 to 2017. Whilst painting them, I never
had any idea of what any of the images might be - and to an
extent, I still don't. However, when each individual image was
finished, it kind of reminded me of something different every
time. So I started naming them all. The strange thing is,
different people see different things within each picture, no
two people see the same thing. They may see the same as another
person once the other person has pointed it out.Some people
see nothing at all.
Each individual painting is the size of a credit card. They are
amalgamated into 'sets' of paintings that are either 9, 12, 16
or 20 in total. Each individual painting has a name - and each
amalgam of paintings has an ensemble name.
I gave an early painting (no.4) to a friend as a birthday gift
and he immediately said - 'that's Binary'. I asked what he meant
and he replied 'it's a visual representation of binary code -
that's weird'. He had unwittingly named the entire
series of paintings for me. (Thanks, Paul).
This was to lead to a series of events and realisations that
have left me reeling over the years.
So, the series of paintings was named Binary. This was
around the time I painted no.5. When I painted no.24 RDSBLD (The
Recently Discovered Space Between Light and Dark) a thought
occured to me - we live in a binary reality. The
painting had literally spoken to me. From this realisation, the
theory of 3state was born. I won't go into it too
deeply, but the basic premise is that there is a hidden state in
between any two opposing, balancing states. When anything moves
to it's opposite state (which happens to everything,
everywhere, all the time), it passes through the third state
as a point of reference, so that it 'knows' what opposing state
to change to. 3state explains an awful lot of things,
but I won't go into that, here.
Painting no.56 (Crystalline Structure) was around the time I
conjoined with the third state personally. I won't tell you how,
because it's one of The Things No One Talks About, but
suffice to say, it's pretty neat. 3state gives you answers
to questions that you didn't know to ask, then you have to
work out the question, which, most of the time is pretty
obvious. Some aren't.
Time also works differently for me now, since
3state. The past bleeds back to the now, but of
course it does, it's the opposing, balancing force of
forward time. No time travel will be possible I'm afraid,
because we already experience every day, to an extent.
There have been many other 'mind adventures' along the way, but
I'll save those for another time.
In 2017, I stopped painting. No idea why, I just did. Done
enough, I suppose. I may go back to it, someday.
Forward to Jan 2019.
I stumbled across Colm's video on youtube about satellites that
surround starforts. Mind blown. Downloaded GoogleEarth a few
minutes later, scanned over the Earth and BANG - saw the canals,
the fields, the sats, the oggs, the water storage, the inland
port systems, the gardens, the mini-fields, the aesthetic, the
layout, the everything.
It had all been hidden in plain sight - in my paintings.

Okay, so what is 'Field Effect'?
I immediately fell in love with The Field System. It's so
awesomely beautiful, simple, yet complex - and really artsitic
in it's layout.
I was particularly enjoying looking at the aerial photography of
the field systems in Germany in the 1940's. Then I noticed
something strange. And here's where it gets complex - when the 2
events occured (the first, pretty much destroying, the
second, burying much of what was left), the canal system and
irrigation channels of the field system were full of water. It
meant that when the silt and mud of the second event cascaded
in, much of it was stopped at the boundaries of the canals and
field waterways, diluting the debris and washing it away along
the channels. This, in turn, meant that many 'straight lines'
were created at the boundaries of the remaining field system,
because the StarCiv used a system of straight lines and
triangulation in it's canal and field system design.
I might have to make a video explaining this, as it sounds a bit
confusing. Anyway, the result is - by co-incidence I assume -
that many fields of The Star Civilisation contain 'hidden'
pictures. Much like my paintings.
The resulting 'Field Effect' videos are what I see
hidden in those field systems. Much like my paintings.
Time is weird, I assure you.
