Statement

As a person and as an artist I accept and appreciate that I am consistently changing; I can share with you what I am today; specifically what I intend as an artist. I know that I am dissatisfied with much of the traditional artworld infrastructure; and, I know that all of my attempts to participate have fallen short of my expectations. I see no need for change; as I am sure the system works well for many: I intend to have my own system!

The building process for my new system begins by defining an alternative, hopefully more productive, purpose for art and artworks. While benign aesthetic contemplation will always play an important role in defining art and artworks; I intend to cultivate more dynamic elements. There are several options to be pursued; for now I will explore the possibilities (as have others before me) for art and artworks as a dynamic and integral contributor to meaningful social change: this will take the form of political activism.

The journey began January 31, 2018 ; the first full moon. I can't know the outcome, but I will keep you informed, good or bad.

I expect no followers; and yet, I would enjoy knowing that perhaps a handful of curious minds are monitoring my exploits. I Know I am not a leader, but I might inspire one.
