last week i was sitting in a gallery for about 20 minutes just listening and experiencing. sometimes i think it is the single healthiest thing i could do for my mind, just sitting and pondering. i thought about the artist, the art, the idea, my ideas, my art, me as an artist. i felt so inspired to do something great. i don't know how or why i have discovered this love of mine, but its priceless to me. i feel like i have been searching for passion my whole life. i found a piece of it. i just wrote in my little red book and thought. about my past, and my future. my worth and its definition. i don't think i have been defined by that specific show, but the more art i see, the more defined i become. i am building a person of strength, courage, and diligence. i've got my faults like everyone else, but i'm re-learning to focus on my abilities.
in my own artwork, i have been working smaller. little entities of humans. they don't look like people at all, but when they interact with each other, you can tell there is a conversation. for another unknown reason, i have been intrigued and inspired by conversation and representing it and creating it. i'm trying to understand how people are perceived and how simple body movements change feeling in someone else. body language is more universal than any other and i think thats fascinating.
i have to make plans for more people watching, because i think that is the essence of what i'm trying to represent. a moment in the time two beings have together without the whole story. thats what i want to capture. and i LOVE this. i love what i do. i love being real. and i'm passionate about having passions.
here are some artists who inspire me:
jean claude and christo - wrapped trees
peter haakon thompson - www.the-a-project.org
sylvia ramachandran - i can't seem to find her site. but i had a wonderful studio visit with her.
jennifer lee - just beautiful pottery.
go. create conversation.
