Artist Statement for James Appleby
|
|
|
My work is abstract and fragmented, and is based on a way of capturing the many layers of perception, and the numerous physical facets, edges, and curves that make up an idea, object, or view.
There are two main reasons why I create work the first is pure escapism. A way of creating little windows into which one can look onto different worlds, like seeing rippled reflections. The second is a self created moral obligation to tell it how I see it, warts and all!
One can not escape fully the self imposed reality that fills our senses.
I have always been interested in Zen and the ways of seeing. It was along this path that I found The Rolling Mirror.
The philosophy of the Rolling Mirror is such that you are not required to follow blindly or expected not to ask questions of its ideology. There is no higher entity to worship. It consists merely of simple stories that create thought provoking questions and views of what life is all about. Like Aesop's Fables there are moral conclusions but these are by no means based on following one particular religion or faith.
It is too this end that I roll along…
