Description
It is a chance, a luck, that life is a series of unbalancing with its own natural tendency to re-balance. Of course it might not 'feel' as a luck at the time that one slips from assured-footing, finding themselves adrift, with nothing under their feet...
Even if I, or another, can boast that said fashion of creative explore is less than rational; and pulled along by the spirit of expressive freedom, artistic impulse and contemporary drama; there might well be room to install a measure of rational, et al, into the formula we lightly label artist! Especially when the freedom is less than classically intentioned; and is in trajectory of the paths so traveled as modern and beyond.
Some of those facts are not so stressed to the cadre that follow us into the unexplored regions of creative expression - call it art or other. The common tenets are more concerned to the 'social' implications of the endeavor; but most assuredly the endeavor is much more, much deeper felt, than can be explained or exampled by the meager history that is reported in so called 'fact'.
And it is because the history is so meager that some of us recognize a necessity to pass along, not only images [which speak a language much forgotten or foreign], but anecdotes, and record of our lives spent in this most unique type of explore.
A mystique has arisen around the idea of 'artist'; more correctly an ensemble of mystiques, ranging from the genius culture hero, and all the way down to the poor, misunderstood or bewildered 'outsider'...
Our social mystiques evidence 'extremes'; black or white, rational or irrational, healthy or clinical. Extremes are not so very helpful to a society or an individual; and since we get but one chance at this unique opportunity, called life, might it be more fitting to find a personal posture that brings the best of one event?
As the photograph of the studio indicates there is a measure of rational swirled into whatever might look - as image - to be the work of one hopelessly imbalanced. And even when the titles persist the allude to dark depths of helpless questioning, somewhere in the descriptions is a semblance of sensibility...Hopefully some good lesson and a spray of Hope and Faith; that the leap of faith was not as much folly as it was uniquely purposive to fostering fresh trails of exploration - or it would seem...
