It would appear very difficult to talk about your own artistic
expression. I always thought that by trying to describe my music,
my writing and my drawings with words I either diminish its
value, or falsely enhance it. With time though, I was able to
precisely convey my artistic intentions with words, and the
result is written below. Because the art I'm involved with
is far from viable, I think that a brief intro. to the artist
intent and goal would be, for someone, an essential companion to
the listening, reading and viewing experience.
In a money driven society, more often than not, they're making
more kind of a traditional viable product, art that is
understood by people. And this product is understood. And they
become worried if even for one small moment something happens
that is not understood by everyone. But what's so fantastic is to
get down into areas where things are abstract and where things
are felt, or understood in an intuitive way that, you can't, you
know, put a microphone to somebody and say 'Did you understand
that?' but they come out with a strange, fantastic feeling and
they can carry that, and it opens some little door or something
that's magical and that's the power that certain art
has. Amazing things can be achieved with the ingredient of
abstraction, but it rarely gets a chance. People are treated like
idiots, and people are not idiots. We're hip to the human
condition, the human experience, and we love mysteries. I keep
hoping people will like abstractions, space to dream, consider
things that don't necessarily add up. Which brings me to my
strongest influence in my espressions: Surrealism!
Among those who do not comprehend surrealism are people who look
upon the real as verifiable, as something to be checked against
past experience or observation. These individuals fail to see
that for the surrealist the dimensions of the real cannot be
gauged by reference to the familiar. So far as the real appears
to have limits, they are foisted upon it by the mental,
emotional, and imaginative limitations of spectators accustomed
to measure the possible by the already known. For this reason,
surrealism and many of its contemporary opponents remained
inevitably in a state of quarrelsome disagreement. The one group
insisted on estimating the scope of reality by its possibilities.
The other condemned the real to be repetitive of what the past
had shown them.
While Abstract is an expression that is disassociated from any
specific instance, difficult to understand, having only intrinsic
form with little or no attempt to
recall something known, and Surrealism is the practice of
producing fantastic and often incongruous effects by means of
unnatural or irrational juxtapositions and combinations, there
are two more elements that are totally missing, or better yet,
have disappeared in most art today:
Poetry, which is the intention of transmitting and spreading the
highest quality of the human soul with purity and integrity for
the sole purpose of illuminating, and...
Sophistication , the very essence of interpreting a language, by
way of using our knowledge, refine it, and then elevate it so
much so to bring the listener's awareness to a higher plane.
