Hi All
I've enjoyed the string on 'fronts' generated by '360' and look forward the AusBonsai's world first!
I've no gripes with any of what has been said. I personally prefer the bonsai in the round approach. For me, if I want a two dimensional art work, the I work in two dimensional media like paint. Some painters try very hard to make their two dimensional media look like three dimensions. People are interesting.
I undertand what is going on when people intensely discuss where the front is to within a hairs breath and move a marker by a millimeter or two just to get it 'right', but it just leaves me both memused and cold to the importance of their discussions. I guess I just can't count angels on the head of a pin. My short coming.
It seems that people often want to hide some feature that they don't like. Rather than find a tree without such features that goes against their internal model of what they want, they just turn the side away from general view. Fine. I try to see the beauty in 360. It is a bit like the concepts underlying the origins of wabi sabi. Maybe I like that because I was already predisposed to it. I don't know.
Thanks for the discussion.
Cheers
