An artist statement that they made me write in college for a showcase in Albany NY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am driven by a desire for self improvement and recording the world around me. For me,
personal growth in art also means an improvement in my ability to pay attention, see, and
appreciate my surroundings. My art gives me purpose. I want to walk into a room and be able to
remember every shape, color, texture and to recreate it.
I devoutly fill and keep sketchbooks. I could never imagine a world where I don't create art. I will
use any material I can possibly get my hands on. Keeping paper on me at all times is
mandatory, i cannot sit still, i have to be doing something, art to me is compulsive.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd refer to it as mostly accurate, although going through an academic filter. it had to take into account the opinion of some very stern and some very flamboyant people, leaving us with this.
what im saying is they didnt let me keep in "i am learning pottery just incase i go blind, because i need to be able to make something" or
"i think I would absolutely have to be put on suicide watch if my hands didnt work anymore" ect... ect... ect...
