The hand is quicker than the I

Well I don’t have a caption for this one. The story is unclear as my mind went many places.
It started with Michele’s post, “Creative Boundary” which had got me thinking about words related to boundaries like edges, borders, limits, containers; and that took me to respecting, appropriate, fitting, spilling over. All the while I was sketching and doodling, letting my hand go where it wanted to.
At some point I had an idea about TV broadcasts having to be the correct size so that we can view appropriately...
Anyway, I drew a number of pics on this theme. My hand had a mind of it’s own. There were a number of doodles then. I can’t explain what happened next, so I’ve just posted the result. Perhaps you can come up with a caption? Or maybe you can explain using quantum physics? Beats me. Sometimes the hand is quicker than the I.

That's so interesting. It makes me think about how television, photography, video etc. frames things and create realities and stories according to what is in the frame. So much is left out, but we don't know what is left out- we only know what is in the frame, so we construct stories using that information. But your drawing allows us to see the frame and what is around the frame, so we get a bigger story. There is so much else going on here, but that is the first thing I thought of. Also, I love the glasses you draw
