InSAnity – All the madmen

In this composition I am trying to pose the question of what sanity means to the observer.

Sane or insane, Genius or madman, where do we draw the line?
The answer my friend is what is deemed to be within acceptable limits by the masses.

What classifies one man sane and another man to be as insane?
What are the reasons for the extremities in human behaviour that go beyond the limits of behavioural acceptance?
What makes our logical thought deviate from the norm?
Addiction, depression, suppression, confusion, delusion, perversion or what?
Is it a just a simple case of a chemical imbalance in the brain?


The inspiration for the composition is based on a song by David Bowie which is a track featured on ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ album released 1971, called ‘All the Madmen’.

A Brief Explanation of the Artwork.

The figure represents the constraints and limitations of our sanity, suppressed in the confines of acceptability. While the tiny butterfly lost in the darkness represents the total freedom of thought of our limitless imagination.

*************************************

Currently I am working on a project is to create a set of artwork which will explore the design aspects involved in CD cover design. For this project all of the band names and CD titles that will be used in this project will be totally fictitious.

With this piece of artwork I have used the same design criteria that I have been using for this ‘CD Cover Design’ project.

Hi Lemmy, nice to see you are back. I hope you are feeling a lot better and are on the mend.

Thanks for the :+fav: it is always appreciated.

Feeling better today. Can't wait to get new manips started. Still too weak to sit long time and my hands are like branches of a dead tree. Not able to do proper work yet.
