‘If Entirely Fathomable, Wouldn’t Be Unfathomable’ [5th August 2020] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, dip nib pen using original iron gall ink recipe on A3 [180 gsm] Artist’s paper.
This version of ‘If Entirely Fathomable, Wouldn’t Be Unfathomable‘ has been made using an original iron gall ink recipe dating to c1540 A.D.
The metallic nib of the wooden handled pen required repeated dipping into the bluish-black fluidic iron gall ink to produce legible lines onto the paper.
I have formulated a ‘typeface’ of alphabetical characters within this artwork. The letters a, E, h, I, m, n, u and w are the most distinctive in style.
Viewing this artwork you will clearly see my equation as follows:

I think this is magnanimously intriguing, do not you?

With this first study of my ‘a4 LY’ equation I’ve incorporated ferrous waves into modern alphabetical lettering with 16th century numerals.
I have produced a series of Pop Art oil pieces on A3 light textured paper entitled ‘If Entirely Fathomable, Wouldn’t Be Unfathomable’.
Here is the Aquamarine version:

This is the Red Ochre #1 version:

.. and here is the Sap Green version:

The phantasmagorical concept emanating from this Pop Art ensemble is to mix artistic persona with fluent ecological conservation. To help inspire the need for cultural, societal, economical and environmental change linked to our beautiful Earth planet.
I like the idea ‘If Entirely Fathomable, Wouldn’t Be Unfathomable’ carries within various layers of meaning. For instance if someone says, we can’t solve this, it’s too difficult, it cannot be done, then we quizzically reply, ‘If Entirely Fathomable, Wouldn’t Be Unfathomable’.
To drive true change we need new behaviour to accomplish whatever is necessary, environmentally speaking. Art can motivate, encourage, nurture, grow, develop and achieve unimaginably positive solutions we just didn’t think possible.
‘If Entirely Fathomable, Wouldn’t Be Unfathomable’.
Some have wondered at the random placing of words onto the A3 paper with regards to the use of ‘canvas’ space. Aquamarine naturally aligned centrally. Red Ochre (#1 of #2) shifted right, whilst Sap Green ascended higher textually than the preceding colour oil works.
Perhaps this is the result of pure chance, coincidence. Or possibly preposterously we can read formulaic thinking into the letters. After I completed the art pieces, super happily viewing them drying late evening, I couldn’t help notice the positioning of certain letters:
Y over O in ‘Aquamarine’,
Y intersects B in ‘Red Ochre #1’,
Y is a constant over MA in ‘Sap Green’.
T required calculation.
Likely astronomers, engineers and mathematicians can help explain the correlation to us.

“Thy Glinted End”
“Rhythm taut flexed skin,
Phoenix constellated Xiaolin,
Grey troned electronic queue,
Washington imbued stately hue,
Accrued in silvric metalled smite,
Smelted gilded ladened kite,
Embark radared mineralled sight,
Warp’ed Traveller supered extra-Nigh,
Prospect ye illust-fabled crystalline bright,
Crush-cookied shaped girded lineal spars,
Soot tunnelled depth-charged night,
Terraquoised chasmed vultured sleep,
Shah-Khan, Bosi, Tanakh, Chi-Tewan,
Resonate volumed anti-quet Clan,
Green threaded strongheld quasi-Blue,
Mired Red wounded aged dread,
Of ye an’ ye thy Stratos fallened through,
Meat thou meeted glinting End.”

“Spook’ed Mangled Soul”
“Spirit darkened myriad troll, Thouest spook’ed mangled soul, Quibbled night, contentious rift, Confuffled postulation, cantankerous shift, Tis mere blight, a trifling blip to your day, Thy creaking lull, makes fishers hay, Thine sinking bedraggled vessel, Lest not evil grin dishevel, Fallen Kraken weighted bat strewn cavern, Taking monstrous sup, Debauch’ed bloodied tavern cup, Wolves a’ howling melod’ thee lungs, Arms of fire, defended Damascus guns, Sighs overgrown, deaden’ed bite, Hollowed eyes devoid’ed fright, Artily made Love, submersive eve’n unto die, Pitifully uncan’ bruted tragic joy, As scrying imaged plotted ploy. Guard thy torrented storaged keep, For lovers one cannot nightly weep.”

“Nine Six Nine Deciduous”
‘One wisheth to be fastidious,
Exuberantly earthened unhideous,
Fettering the Demarcatious,
Being Nine Six Nine deciduous,
Half the Time Draconian contiguous,
Fervently filial-al,
Omnisciently quintessenti-al,
Redolently chromosomium,
Extricably balonium,
Hath thou eve’n heard thy Meconium?
Tellest thee of thine Meconium.’
– a poem by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, copyright January 2021.
“Air the quiet after a Caribbean storm, Wind blown dust settled, Soft breezy stillness. Lightning enriched, Charged particles, ionized happy 🙂 Fresh like Antarctican mountain snow, Where gusts breach one hundred empirically, Wolverine traverses Alaskan peaks, with swagger-fleeted perfection, The morning run, in a City, Bremsstrahlung.”
