Many thanks to my friend and mentor Marge for providing a new way to generate those damned artist statements. LOL hate.them. Right now I’m pretty much all about writing haikus to take care of any and all explanatory text. I did write a pretty decent short statement for both Summer Seen From September, 2001 and 36 which will be opening at Sacred Threads this week.
The first bollocks, I mean statement, that I created went like this:
My work explores the relationship between postmodern discourse and urban spaces.
With influences as diverse as Blake and John Cage, new tensions are crafted from both simple and complex meanings.
Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the mind. What starts out as vision soon becomes corroded into a hegemony of power, leaving only a sense of what could have been and the prospect of a new understanding.
As spatial impressions become clarified through emergent and diverse practice, the viewer is left with a glimpse of the limits of our world.
Anything that uses Blake, John Cage, hegemony and emergent in a short span like that gets a thumbs up from me. And, something else to laugh about was fun too!
