A Simplified Artists Statement

i explore
lose the pictoral
capture the essense
search for the truth
from the subconscious

paintings that paint themselves
from fingers to canvas
in an instant
then immutable
like creation

only by escaping
constraints
of conscious mind
can i be
truly be

sometimes the way
to figure out
what something is
is to figure out
what it is not

art is not
a verbal skill
art does not
require justification
art speaks for itself
and says something different
to anyone who listens

art is the object
and the conversation
between itself
and the viewer

the more art is explained
the less you hear
the more art is described
the less you see
the more art is defined
the less you know

we walk through
our lives backwards
only seeing the past
blind to the
future unseen

if everything is art
then nothing is art
artspeak
the language of
the whore of babylon
