“I dream in volumetric proportions” [from margin]

I am a very unapologetic person. I have vision. I want to demonstrate that a person may have a vision, manifest it, and be happy. The literal result of this is sculpture, or photography, or any creative thing if it’s done right. Destructive actions always have some limited effectiveness, but an internal creation may go as far as to make what the mind sees real. This is art. This is life. There is a flow to creating that ends in death and destruction. The brain must be forced to manipulate something while the instinct wants to remain in flux, accepting any material change. Then, the piece must exhibit an effort of it’s own, with definable boundaries, that can stand alone. This is not to say that art may not be, or isn’t, a sight-specific experience; but, rather, art must be time-specific as a living source or an object that contributes to the life energy in the moment rather than acting as a drain. To imbue something with life can only be done by God and the human mind.
