rambling: manifesto talk

there is too much stuff in the world.

so where does that position a person, like me, whose want is to be an artist who by definition must create. thereby adding to all that stuff. these times as they stand right now call for ingenuity and creative thought. we need our artists. we need our creative minds. but as one of those oh so needed people, i find myself in an awkward position.

i don't want to add to the bullshit, the chaos, the darkness, the trends. i want timelessness. but can that be achieved in a world of entitlement and instant upgrades?

we want everything and we want it now. i prefer the simpler times when artists could take their time. but working and living now is changing my views on why i create. i want to take something that already exists and make it better, make it new, make it art.

energy is never destroyed, only transferred.

i seek to open people's mind to possibilities. i believe in the why not and in the surprise of holding something so dear that came from the most unlikely of sources. i want value in a transient world but also want that transience to allow my work to spread.

pieces of light, goodness, altruism, of escape. i want that for my work, in whatever form it make take.

there is too much stuff in the world. so if i'm going to add to it, i need to be able to back up my reasons.
