Artist Statement:
Writing an artist’s statement
is an incredibly difficult
thing to do. It teeters on
the brink of impossibility.
It is difficult enough just to
produce an image itself, even
though it fills and spills out
of a world of senses. Indeed,
the simple act of naming an
image is difficult. Words are
difficult. They are but vague
landmarks of our world once
removed from sight and touch.
Sometimes they are even like
faded signs, unreadable and
pointing in the wrong
direction. The infrequent
happenstance when words make
the connection to our world of
senses is always delightful,
but it is significantly rare.
All the more reason that the
task of writing an artist’s
statement seems more like it
is tipping off the brink into
impossibility. But if words
are the opposite of visual and
tactile substance, there must
be a way for them to coexist.
What do you see? Hopefully,
you will see things as you
haven’t seen them before.
Part of the goal has to be to
show things in a new light, or
as the case may be, in a
revealing darkness. Part of
the goal has to be to strike a
certain, indistinct chord ...
