Language of the spirit.
The passion that creates innovation informs the spirit.
The how is not important, the why is. Skill is only
the medium that keeps open the conduit in order to
hear the transmission clearly. The trained hand and eye,
then has only to obey and read the message––
the code––and it will know exactly what to do.
"Content creates form"––content informs creation.
Artists do what they do in order to speak. It's more
difficult to speak than to paint half the time. Each thing
has its own essential energy. If I respect the nature
of my subject, it will tell me how to paint it. You can't paint
murder and a flower the same way. You have to transcend style
to grasp identity. If the art doesn't talk, it fails.
A picture has to move someone, feed someone's soul,
inspire the viewer to become part of the transmission
and add to the help all around….otherwise....that thing
on the wall is just more of the collective junk
and even worse than that.....because empty space.....
has more promise than junk does,
emptiness is a beginning
