Artist Statement

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 1, 2007, 1:42 PM
Phil and I like to wander around local galleries and it's always a kick to read the statements the artists have made about their work. Sometimes they're genius and other times... they're absolutely awful. Mouth diarrhea. You can justify anything with the right words. XD

So I made one for myself. Eventually I'd like to submit some of my paintings to a few galleries I've been to in Albany and in Hudson, and I figured I'd probably need something written down.

*
Anything is possible. I believe in a variety of truths and am well aware of a multitude of lies. Sometimes they wear the same clothing. We all draw a veil over our face, or fix a lens to our eye and therefore see the world a little differently than everyone else. No two people will describe the same scene exactly, but will swear with their hand on a holy book that everything they say is truth. Is one of them lying? Both? Or could they both be right? It's all a matter of interpretation.

I believe there are things in this world that often go unnoticed. Beautiful, powerful, mysterious things that rarely reveal themselves to the human eye. In every culture in the world, we find stories of such beings - demons, faeries, dragons, mermaids, spirits. While I don't put much merit in the actual mythologies, there are two reasons we find such stories in every corner of the world - 1) they are based on a grain of truth and 2) as creative, hopefule beings, we've breathed life into these flickers of fantasy and shaped them into something more tangible. To stumble upon an embodiment of power, mystery and beauty is an enticing thought - imagine how you would feel if you could experience a moment in the presence of such a creature! If for one instant you were connected to something ethereal, it would open up the possibilities of the world, of life, of reality as we think we know it. If magic could be truth, suddenly the world would hold so much more light, so much more possibility.

When I pick up a paintbrush, it is these possibilities that envelop my mind. I cannot bear to duplicate reality as I see it, but instead prefer to let it blossom, unfold, and reveal alternate dimensions of our world. Like a prism set within a ray of sunlight, I fracture my reality into a range of colors, of frequencies, of possibilities.

Through art, I am allowed to explore the recesses of my mind and bring intangible things to life. I can share my visions, my dreams, my wishes with anyone who is willing to stop and look. Perhaps if we all paused every now and then, we'd find more beauty, more mystery in this world. My goal is to solidify those moments of, "Was that...?" and answer the "What if...?" The rest is entirely open to interpretation, and I encourage you to find an alternate reality to my own.

My great-great grandfather and his brother were apparently the first settlers in a place that became Paquetteville, and now is simply called Paquette. (They were dairy farmers.)
But I don't know of any relatives in Quebec. Only in Upstate NY.
(And I don't speak a lick of french, unfortunately. Except for a drinking song. XD )

:giggle: I didn't realize I noted you on your art account. My apologies.

The head is the best part
My headcut my woodcut
I saw you in the gallery
With your torso and family
A huge smiling central face
With eyes and lips cut out
But smiling and eating
Lots of other lips...

I remember obsessing over your art when I was nine years old. You were a role model for me, really. It's so great to finally find you again and see that you're still doing art! Too many people abandon their talent when they get out in the 'real world.'

Keep up the great work! (:

Hey you. ^^

I realised that I've had a DA for a few months and have done absolutely nothing with it, so greetings milady. Perhaps I'll even manage to get some art up soon.

You have an amazing gallery. I'm thinking of making a stock account for myself, but I don't have a studio or photoshop. What do you use? True, I only have a digetal camera right now, but do you have any advice?
