The reason I placed them in this drawing, was to re-create an image I saw while I was under the influence of lyseric-acid-diethylamide (more commonly know as Acid, Double Window Panes, Blotters, Cubes, etc.) This experience took place somewhere around 1969-70. Some high school friends and I went to the country side (which, not so surprisingly, is now a bustling suburb.) We camped out in a field, on a hill, overlooking a small stream. As the dusk came upon us...and the fire flies came out to congregated along the stream bed. And what I saw from the hill, a hundred yards away...were these moving lights next to the stream and millions of stars in the sky. And at that moment, everything seemed right in the world. And as I use these spheres in new drawings, they have come to symbolize a correctness, or a blessing if you will, of what you see in the drawing.
All of my spheres now, and then, have basically the same meaning. Whether they are whole...or depicted as damaged. Well, there you have it, the secret behind the spheres.
