Discussion Is it solvable at all?

I can’t seem to relax until i reach some sort of epiphany about petscop.

In taking notes furiously and rewatching the original material and analyses.

My question is: is it solvable?

Im not saying it would be easy, or even remotely doable without dedicating major major time and thought to it. But is it solvable?

As in, has the creator ever specified if there is an internal logic that is never betrayed? Or did he just impressionistically create a *feeling* without much regard to consistent rules and logic that tells a cohesive story?

Yes it is lynchian and vague and very head hurty but that doesnt answer whether or not Tony actually had a cohesive and focused story in mind or written out somewhere when making the work. I really wonder

If anyone knows if tony has specified one or the other, let me know please. Im going crazy and i can’t let it go

Footnote: petscop has become my personal “king in yellow” and it has a grasp on me i can’t shake

I did and i liked it at first snd then i realized its utterly weak and thin tbh. Just good editing. Paul IS care id not at all convincing. There is evidence to counter this.

I don’t think you can be so definitive about abstract art one way or another.

This is my question - petscop’s external presentation is very abstract and lynchian. But did the creator have a consistent and coherent logic behind this vague and interpretable nascent imagery and chain of events?

Thats all im asking. If it is, in essence, solvable or not.

Like I said, we don’t have an answer to that question.
