The Answer is 42

Piece description from the artist

A quilt of abstract tiles made up of shapes and colors that interconnect, forming a symbiotic design. Each tile represents its own environment, its own split second of recorded memory or idea, seemingly isolated from the others surrounding it, yet unaware that their existence is wholly dependent on the other surrounding, unseen tiles.

Memories, ideas, and thoughts, when recalled are recreated from isolated associations. Whether it’s a single word, a smell or visual, this single slice is interwoven with others to construct the thoughts we deem as reality. Philosophers take the same approach when trying to interpret the world; single, interwoven snapshots, weaving together isolated concepts to form a quilted theory. Each tile acts as its own dimension. Within that dimension, one can detect the other dimensions and realize their dimension has a direct effect on yours.

The Answer is 42 is the answer to everything, given by a supercomputer Deep Thought after seven and a half million years of processing in the book Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

About Skip Myers

Austin, TX

The artwork of Skip Myers explores the world of dreams, symbolism, mythology, various religious belief systems, the human condition and our shared collective consciousness with all sentient beings. One art critic described him as an oneironaut, or one who explores alternative realities. These works are strongly influenced by personal stories, events from life painted on canvas, filtered through a process of organic abstraction and emotion, and built with vivid color and esoteric symbols.
