My Artistic Mythology new take on artist statement
I tended to see the cosmos through images and ideas and not words. This has had its advantages and disadvantages and forced me to make decisions that test my convictions, not only to the artistic process, but to an aesthetic philosophy as well. I believe that I have to do what I do. I have evolved a great deal over the last couple of years with the help of great teacher, looking at great artist and through the interactions with my contemporaries. I have grown from a closet doodler into a creature that wants the world to see and experience my thoughts, ideas, and art. My work is now a series of conglomerations of ideas and biographical forms that record my life’s journeys. These journeys have become personal mythologies of sorts. They have become objects that have the randomness of journal entries or sketchbook pages with their sense of chaotic compilations and random thoughts. Knowing this, and embracing these truths, I seek to tell my mythologies through as many mediums as possible. These works are created and modified, all to tell my side of the story in a visual manner. Like the creatures that inhabit my work it is after all just nonsense, but do not be fooled I take nonsense seriously.
