as of late my inspirations for our N-GOM project have been andy goldswortyhy, mattise, ed & nancy keinholz though of late i have rediscovered a very old and wise muse..the very streets i travel and the things i find along my journey token totems filled with the through away energy of other peoples' lives chewing tabacco likes and missmatched ear rings awaiting a new life or eternal damnation of gutter hell which will it be? Always i am the artist today the Saint Peter de refuse' will i create eternal heaven for that which is unwashed and unwanted or another sort of gutter hell?

ARTIST STATEMENT

2010-07-23T10:54:00.000-07:00

My work is about the artist and the fall of civilization as we know it. For many years i have explored the use of alternative material in the creation of my work. disguard paints,fibers, fabrics and materials. would a stretched canvas be needed?, gesso ? acrylic? oil? ink? i would surmise not. yet, even in prehistoric times the creative process flourished. from cave paintings to petroglyphs , to fertility carvings in animal bone and soft stone, these creations mark a time and place in history rarely understood in the framework and context of the mind of it's creator . Yet, it endures.
My work is about building from the rubble. soil to seed, sapling to tree and back. It's about the cycle of existence.It's about my conception, birth, life , impending demise and the after life. Not so much about what happens to me after i die but what i leave behind. What happens after i die in regards to the impact and impressions, my glyphs , my cave paintings, my carving is bone and how they will be perceived in the framework and context of the minds of the future.

I OPENED THIS BLOG SOME TIME AGO AND FILLED IT WITH THE DISCOMFORT I FELT WITH THE DIRECTION OF SOCIETY AS AWHOLE AND THE INJUSTICES OF HUMANITY OCCURRING WORLDWIDE. THOUGH NOW IN AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE FORWARD AND TO RISE ABOVE THOSE PORTIONS OF HUMANITY THAT I DEEM "TOXIC" I AM MOVING IN A NEW MORE OPTIMISTIC DIRECTION. IN NO WAY HAVE I GIVEN UP MY CAUSE, I HAVE SIMPLY RESOLVED TO CONFRONT THOSE ISSUES IN ANOTHER MANNER AS..............."WORRY IS INTEREST PAID ON PROBLEMS NOT YET COME DUE"
