The Artist
Art decays or is destroyed: I am compelled to explore how the experience of art can be perpetuated through time.
Ideas are as persistent as a shadow cast by smoke: I am haunted by the mystery of this ephemeral existence and the brief flame of consciousness.
Beauty arises from the most unexpected places: I savor the delight of its discovery when sensitized to being in the big here and the long now.
The Art
The act of creation: The exterior is a coalesced idea applied to a catalytic interior that is itself successive submerged layers of manifested concepts.
The action of being: Just as consciousness is formed through the accretion of awareness, thought, and memory; the work becomes an evolving identity through the shifting narrative of appearance and the ongoing evolution of the interior through imagination and fading memory.
