ARTIST STATEMENT I like to use quotes by other people to explain where it is I'm coming from as an artist, why try to explain it yourself if someone else has done a better job, And with using quotes you get to pass on the information and even maybe educate. So here's a few quotes from books that I have read etc. They explain my approach to Art and creating, what ideas and concepts go into my work,and life in general. Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. Cecil Beaton Art arises when the secret vision of the artist and the manifestation of nature agree to find new shapes. Kahlil Gibran The visual language is a lost language. like cyphers undecyphered. But it underlies all that we dream each night. It invisibly appears whenever the image of vision flows in a meaningful way,it emerges from trance, contemplation, myth, madness. This ancient image language otherwise forgotten is now being spoken once more. from a manifesto of visionary Art. There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough - there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph. Robert frank. Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence. Norman Podhoretz Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Bill Hicks. The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sentiment . In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men. Albert Einstein. Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold. Bob Marley. The man who has no imagination has no wings. Muhammad Ali White collar conservative flashin down the street, pointing that plastic finger at me, they all assume my kind will drop and die, but I'm gonna wave my freak flag high. Jimi Hendrix.
