Dreaded Artist Statement

So, I wrote recently about the dreaded "Artist Statement". All my words seem foolish. It is an exercise in contracting a rich and deep experience into words. I did some web research and made a collection of words and phrases that other people have written.

List of a collection of words that may or may not be useful in an Artist Statement:


the minds eye

other realities

just suppose

whispers of blended shadows

Deepen life by creating and expressing meaning thru paint and pixil.

"Not by the fancied gift of absolute or transcendental knowledge, but by suggesting questions which help one to detect the passion, strangness and dramatic contrasts of life." This by a writer of the Bloomsbury school, concerning philosophy.

great art created in attempt to deal with childhood pain

Okee Dokee

visual textures of heightened complexities

is in fact a religious mythologist, himself

hopeless dreamer

zen koan heaven

freedom from rational control

speaks language of ancient fables with irony

deliberate passionate assault on the mundane

all history is now ours

thrill factor

desperate attempt to escape boredom (I just made that one up)

Hey, hey, have a wonderful day. Be good to yourself. Love one another.

Okee Dokee, bye now.
