implicate/explicate

There are a couple of things I'd like to mention with this entry. First of all, it didn't dawn on me until last week that I should be looking at each page as it corresponds to the adjacent page (like the pages of an open book). This realization caused me to write/draw these pages with that effect in mind. I drew the right page first. In this page I'm reading a passage from The Holographic Universe. What I am reading causes me first to imagine the materialization of a handgun. Why? I'm not sure. This actually happened. It seems so dramatic/suicidal when coupled with the fatalistic 'reading between the lines' depicted on the previous page. I'm going to have to resolve this dream later; you can't introduce a gun in the first act without utilizing that gun by the end of the story (right? I thought I heard that somewhere...). Anyway, the passage's reference to the carpet then causes me to trip out on the room's wall tapestry; much the same way I spaced out looking at the computer's keyboard on the previous page. All in all these parallel images are supposed to exemplify my altered state of mind, and they give me a chance to draw something that is visually more interesting.
