When comparing painting to poetry and music, the
initial response tends to be external. Often the internal meaning is revealed only
after time, in which the content becomes multidimensional. Frequently in poetry and
music, layers of meaning are essential, as is the reader or listener's individual
narration or response. I approach painting, as would a poet or musician; as a many-layered
combination that causes an emotional response. In my work I think about visual language
and it's abstraction and apply it visually. I've made art my ritual, my life. While working I discover meaning and truth, a personal exploration of myself, my surroundings, and the interaction between the internal and external, the rational and the emotional. |
