Hello ‘Verse! Ambivalentine.com shall be the more artful side of my Knot-A-Verse universe, with more ambiguous figures. My other site shall be more writing focused, though http://knotaverse.com will also have art and illustrations related to my writing. Eventually I may also add a Quicksilverlining site–perhaps for my more serious and philosophical content.

For now Ambivalentine will focus on the artsier side of combining as many potential meanings as possible in as little space as possible. I enjoy playing with the inherent ambiguity of language, written, audio, and visual, to show unexpected interconnectedness. While I often find sadly expected misunderstanding, I want to show that multiple viewpoints can coexist, and even strengthen each other.

I particularly love that the heading art for “Ambivalentine” is an ambigram (can be read right-side up or upside down), and a portmanteau (“ambivalent valentine”). Additionally it can be read as “am bi valentine” or “ambi valentine” for a little more ambiguity.
