The Gilchrist Manifesto
In search for my place in the world I have found that linguistics was not my strong suit and I tended to see the cosmos through images and ideas. This has had its advantages and disadvantages and forced me to make decisions that test my convictions, not only to the process but an aesthetic philosophy as well. I have evolved a great deal over the last couple of years from a closet doodler into a creature that wants the world to see and experience my thoughts, ideas and art. This however has been short-circuited over and over by not artist blocks but by simple economics. However, at this point, the ideas and art have seen the light and now they must be created. To adapt to this new reality I have gone the way of the scavenger. Finding paper, ink, paint, or any thing I can get my hands on just short of thievery so my art could come into existence. My work is now a series of conglomerations of ideas and biographical forms that record my life’s journeys. Knowing this, and embracing these truths, I seek to tell these tales through those found objects and ideas. The works are stories and fables that are sometimes superficial, and then sometimes hidden but meant to introduce me to the universe. My goal with these works is to reveal the cosmic artistic being that I have become and am becoming.
