There's More Than One Way to.... Make Art: An Exploration of Medium and Technique
Description/Abstract/Artist Statement
An interesting thing: An “Artist” has to have a point. I respect that some people create things because there is something going on in the world that they are trying to bring to the attention of the masses. More times than not, the things they are trying to focus in on are very valid and need to be recognized. To those Artists, “BRAVO”. Keep doing your thing. I’ll be there at your gallery opening and I’d love the chance to pick your brain.
I am not one of you.
I make “Art” because it focuses my mind. It is an equation but there is also a bit of creativity involved. I want to figure out all the different ways to represent myself, the people in my life and the people in their lives. I want to try everything, see what works and what doesn’t. It’s OK if things don’t go as planned. The point is to do it. I might just make something cool.
I’ll leave the “visions” to other Artists. If they need help on technique, I’ll be here to answer any questions. I’ve probably tried it at some point.
