Between Lines #1 Posted Jun-18-2006
Linear Thoughts
As lowly as the simple line may seem, can you imagine what life would be like without it? Lines are just about everywhere you look as elements of art and design, as points connecting the dots, as structures in nature. Upright trees, interstate highways, square sides of billboards — all lines.

I look out my window at the siding on the house next door. Guess what I see? Horizontal lines. I tilt my head backwards up at the perimeter of the ceiling. Lines neatly connect the drywall at seams. I gaze at the top of my hand at my knuckles. Lines carved into my flesh are what enable me to bend my fingers. My dictionary (rectangular in shape, by the way, which is really four connected lines — unless you want to get 3D-specific) gives three different references to line, the first one having 17 definitions. Woah — these things are literally a *life-line* to living!

Today I enter into the imaginary world of line in a new expression of creativity I'll call "Between Lines." It could very well be "Between Friends" that are of a linear nature. Want to line up and see where this one goes? Another creative adventure begins right here, right now. •
