One a Day – One Day at a Time …
This year isn’t any different ...
Every day I endeavor to fulfill my mission toward becoming a contemporary artist.
Most of the time, I assume no one is either listening to or looking at what I do. Why should they?
Besides, learning from experience has always been the primary goal required to improve ones’ skills – as an artist and a human being …
I develop concepts, work on projects – paint, draw, read, write, research, study, and compose music – always prepared for inspiration and practiced in knowing how to work with inspirare as it arrives …
I create amalgams of experience – montages that depict the attributes of events – the energy, the atmosphere, and fragments of noteworthy experiences.
Patterns, images, theorems, and revelations are combined to represent ideas.
They become conceptual compositions with sensory properties.
But like memory, every work of art remains an incomplete story.
Art is a point of reference – a point of view that becomes less relevant to a culture inundated with sounds, images, and data.
The matrix of entirety is where essential meanings and causes are found, but that’s yet another step in an epic process.
That’s where the tedium of editing begins to test one’s stamina and perseverance.
Scrutinizing the massive amounts of data that experience provides creates familiarity with the subject’s essence.
This is how we discover beauty in those exemplary moments of eternity …
In all things, preparing strong foundations is hard-labor and my efforts are sometimes eroded by a haphazard method of record-keeping.
Organizing materials in categories rather than sequence has become my preference.
It allows me to focus on multiple projects simultaneously but it can also be chaotic in the turbulence of creation.
This year isn’t any different … except
I sense that 2020 will be notable – especially when experienced as a frame-by-frame account.
I decided to represent this sequence of time in a series of short-story films and books.
As a result, I plan to methodically collate my creative process as events unfold.
For the time being, I’m hopeful that this approach will provide opportunity to share fragments of my journey sequentially – in a way that makes sense to my aesthetic – in a way that makes sense to my vision …
