ARTIST STATEMENT
What,
is art?
What is, art!
THE GREAT WRITER AND POET ANAIS NIN ONCE
SAID:
“WE DON’T SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE, WE SEE
THEM AS WE ARE”.
MOST OF MY WORK IS INTUITIVE, AND THEREFORE
IS NOT EASILY TRANSFERRED INTO WORDS.
MYSTERY AND THE UNCONSCIOUS ARE THE THINGS
THAT I’M LOOKING FOR IN THE PROCESS OF MY
WORK.
IN THE FOLLOWING POEM I TRIED TO PUT INTO
WORDS THE MYSTERY OF THE PROCESS OF MY
CREATING:
IT IS PLEASURABLE TO WALK IN A TRACKLESS
FOREST
DIMMED UNTIL THE LOSS OF SENSES
THERE IS MAGIC IN LOOSING ONESELF
IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHO
YOU ARE NOT.
AND WHEN UNEARTHING YOUR IMAGE
NAVIGATING ALONG PARTICULAR PATHS
FANCY THE YEARNED
KNOW WHO
YOU ARE.
