"While I am not actually a hermit living in a cave far from humanity, I do work, relatively unknown, in my basement here in Columbus, Ohio.

Imagining creatures and events, scratching and splattering them onto bits of paper hacking them out of chunks of wood, has been such a happy part of my life."

Alan Jaras: "These are light refraction patterns or 'caustics' formed by a light beam passing through a shaped and textured plastic form. Colour is added into the clear plastic which modifies the way the plastic hardens further enhancing the patterns.The pattern is captured directly on to 35mm film by removing the camera lens and putting the transparent object in its place. The processed film is digitally scanned for uploading. Please note these are not computer generated images but a true analogue of the way light is refracted by the objects I create." - http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanjaras/

"The perceived location of the separation between light and dark regions changes as the background is modulated, causing each brain to jiggle and bounce. In some regions these illusory motions of neighboring brains are coherent and are grouped together to give rise to an even stronger illusion."
