definitions

I can define myself as an artist, if you want.
I can put that box on my head and dance around in it for a while.
Except that my subjects now are energy, e-motion, and the human spirit, as well as paint and plaster.

Life is a canvas.
And when I carve, paint and sculpt, I'm not imposing anything at all.
Instead I look into the center of my subject, my material, my clay or energy or form, and I begin to slowly chip away the dead layers... I begin to shape and bring forth the radiant and vibrant form that lives beneath the surface.

I may help something move from inanimate to animate, but they themselves are already a creation, already a very special force and form. I need not change that, just help it speak a little perhaps, or teach it how to dance, or float lazily down a river, or laugh.... the rest of the process, well.... if you want to know, e-mail me and find out.
