One thing I hate about being a artist is that
unlike some artist,I really have no clue why I do what I do or what
it's even about in a way.
Maybe it's a cross to bear for all surrealist or artist in general
that work from images they see in their unconscious,or in flashes of
vision or even meetings with the other side.
I don't have a artist statement even though I should,all
professional artist should have one,it's just a easy way to tell
people what you are trying to do with your art.I can't write one
because I don't know what the hell is going on,and having "I don't
know what the hell is going on" as a artist statement is a little
off putting.
It' much like people who are psychic and have no clue why,they are
sure it has some rhyme or reason,they just aren't sure what it is.
I know what the purpose of me making some of the things is,sometimes
it could be to make people face the horror of what something really
is.It's one thing to tell somebody abusing animals or is wrong,but
you wave something that looks like a skinned cat in their face and
trust me they will "get it".
It's just weird because at times I'm on the journey just like the
people that see my stuff are.I'm like a medium or a channeler,I'm
just the vehicle.I'm just here along for the ride and for the most
part I don't have much control and say over what I make.
I do make a few things here and their just for
fun,or to be creative,Take some of my sketches for instance as you
can see I'm not the greatest artist when left up to my own
devices.LOL.But most of my fine art things are things that are from
some deep dark place,that I don't even know where it is,what it's
called and why I go there.Also sometimes I feel the need to make
things addressing certain subjects,it's like what Christian
preachers refer to as a "burden".
For the most part I feel like I don't know what the hell is going
on,I just know I feel something strongly,just like the people that
are viewing my work.
