I have decided I do not like God's design. After several years's of architecure grad school and plenty of time in architecture, enigineering and desing build landscape firms, plus my current experience as a design teacher I beleive that I am qualified to offer my critque of God's design...
My first comment is that I beleive most of the problem lies within the presentation. I can see where he has put in the work, there really is a lot if detail and exxcellnt design qualities to the piece. But the presentation has been left a little vague and open ended.
I think he has done a marvelous job at combing textures, colors, even scents and tastes to create a well balanced peice as a whole. But Again I would criticize the fact that he made the peice large enough that most viewers cannot see the whole picture and are often left viewing pieces that are too sharp in contrast, are extrememly out of balance, or have no visual interest whatsoever.
My second major point is that I beleive that he left too much of the piece incomplete. One can make the argument that it is project that is in progress or even that it is a living piece therefore it is always changing. But for the viewer this can often cause confusion and dissoriotnation as pieces that seemed to fit yesterday not seem out of place or contrasting to their original posisition.
My final complaint has to with how the plan plays out on an individual basis. ALthough there are major implications that the piece was designed attention and detail on even the smallest part, it is often quite difficult to break the pice apart and see what he intended for the pieces (without the overall picture, the indiviual pieces seem to loose value and serve no function) this goes back to my earlier comment that the piece is soooo large that most viewers are not able to see the piece in its entirety.

Ok so maybe I'm not qualified to evaluate God's work. I am just so tired of not being able to see the big picture, and tell me Ohhh go read the Bible, God tells you all about it... If that's your answer you are either not listening to me or you are an idiot... What I mean by big picture ----
I am in a hole, a hole that I dug. I created this hole through a combination of greed, pride, and fighting for survival. I have (am) doing everything I can as I continue to jump through hoop afte hoop and plod through red tape after red tape... and the truth is I have done everything I can do... And you know what God is not going to fix it as least not in a "I dream of Jeanie" fashion. I am in God's hands. That is the only way I am going to get through this. BUt the how's and the when's and where's and the what's are parts of the plan that he does not always let us see... or maybe sometime's we are just standing too close to the painting...
Always dream, always hope, beleive in everything... these are where creativity lives.

I love God's design...and let me tell you why.
ReplyDeleteHe gives us room to make our own decisions and our own mistakes, but then loves us anyway. He never fails. Looking back on crazy and stupid times in my life...I can tell you right here and now...it was when I wasn't seeking Him and His word.
Always look for the good, and there you will find it. In all of the moves, all of the craziness....God's been the one constant.
I love that part of his design.
And another thing...when did you start putting ads up on your page? do you get money from that? just being nosey...because i can! :) ha ha ha
