Why I am an Artist.                                                                      Why am I an Artist?

 

Art is a process that starts with a spark of divine inspiration that grows and expands into a conflagration.  Thought and action are translated on the canvas.  Knowledge is sought and old tired ideas are tossed to the side.  New is the key.  We are always searching for the new.  Who are we?  Why do we do what we do?  These questions drive us forever forward seeking something.  Some knowledge some understanding, things that always seem just out of reach.  If you could only figure out the next step in the progression.  What drives us to create or destroy?  Is it us, or is it some divine mandate.  Do we decide?  What color in box number two?  Stark, desolate seems the world at many turns.  Choice is stagnant on either side.  What are we to do, who are we to be?  Is good possible or is it all just an experiment?  Who directs the experiment?  Some think coincidence is our true God. Nature gives voice to the lie.  Why always why.  Restless seeking,seeking of what?  Though the seeking is not done in a gray void the conflagration gives us direction and hope.  Maybe there are answers, maybe not.

We as artists seek to create, to cause questions.  Thinking is an activity much under appreciated.  Why that color, why that shape there, why that form or turn?  What are they trying to say?  What are they trying to do?  We each seek to make our own statement in this world of restless seeking.  Handing out our own version of the truth.  Who says what is important?  Is it important to me, to you?  We do what we do.  We seek and we quest.  We create an we destroy.  It is all a matter of choice, do we seek towards the fire, or do we hide in the void?
