Introspectively,

My work is informed on personal experiances. Mostly formative memories that I translate to a visual format. These memories are translated to colors sounds footprints visions steams rhythms fears hopes, really these visual representations stand alone as letters to myself as if preparing for an uncertain future. I have been considering my process and work over the last few days and some of the primary themes stuck out to me. It has been an introspective journey into sorts of psychic meshing of abstract forms and images that are strung together by cosmically informed vibrations. Thats sort of a crazy abstract babble way of putting it. There is more! This semester I want to work on being more clear about this language. I feel like these intuitive ideas are like a baby muttering a word it's not sure it can produce with its' vocabulary. This feeling is almost incapacitating at some points. Some advice that I have heard since high school is that your work is not work until it is at least completed. Never Half ass your shit and be proud of branding something with your name. This work cannot be a representation that is weak or incomplete or half done or half baked. You can only grow as an artist and as a person once other humans see your work and talk about it to you around you behind you or even on the outside of you. I guess what I want to produce this semester is work that is stand alone, not part of a series or movement. I want to develop a personal aesthetic and visual dialogue that I can use for my work. Obliterate the mediocrity that my work has been a part of in the past. There are a few paths I want to head down to explore these feelings. I want to work with my personal interpretation of being a man through personally informed means. I want to explore situations that are lost through time and examine how the vail of lost love can conceal unsavory motives, or how brilliant being at a certain time in space can be through visual retrospective examinations. I want these works to stand as eternal letters that can speak to any person who lives alongside me in my generation. I want to produce an installation quality video diptych.
