Like the root system of a pot bound plant - conforms to the shape of the container and escapes through the drainage holes. Excellent!

this is ridiculously rad... like organic knotted energy.

It is very pleasing. The result seems like a strange blending of organic and geometric forms. :thumbsup:

Yes yes. :D

Do you find any artistic inspiration in it?

hmm, i don't really regard myself as an artist but rather an art appreciator, since i mostly make technically good pictures of beautiful things that already exist. i'm getting better at it, so it's definitely a skill, but increasingly it appears to be a different thing from true artistic vision.

having said that, there's of course a lifetime's worth of inspiration to be found in the game; philosophically it's a microcosm of life - one can learn many of its lessons through playing go :) but somehow i've not taken any artistic cues from it (yet). that's certainly worth pondering, i'll be sure to give it a think on the bus tomorrow :ahoy: please feel free to share your interpretations!

I suppose this isn't really a forum for go, but I am an enthusiast myself and I agree with all you said.

I am of the opinion that it takes artistry and craftsmanship to produce works of enduring value. Would the old masters be so well regarded if they had been technically weak?

I haven't really made use of go artistically either though the lines and circles are such basic forms they appear everywhere. (I see black and white stones in this piece). :D
