At the risk of getting heavy...

As an artist you must be responsible for the images you create. As a person in general it is important to be in touch w/ your motives. i know that i would make a poor debate partner as it is more important for me to make an eloquent point than to get the facts straight. An artist’s statement is always changing. When developing as an artist you never call yourself one because you’re not there yet. By the time you are, your work has become so Byzantine the Artist label is an easy way out.

+ so, + i’m figuring this out as i write, the personal work that was offered out into the world so tentatively twenty-five years ago, is now flung out w/ confidence + unconcern for the frequent belittler. Not looking back, but ahead + over yonder to fill in more lines to appease my disquieted mind. Make room for more white paper + sharp pencils. Zen says you can not get to truth through reasoning, it is too limiting. There’s a good reason for ya. 

Rest on that.

Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.  - St. Francis of Assisi
