Artist Statement

Pictures

I make pictures.

I make pictures that are the appreciable manifestation of creativity. My art practice is centered around the ability to create new or different relations between elements in a way that aligns with the framework of Vita-Socio-Anarco, promoting the well-being of all life, social relations, and non-domination. My work is guided by a focus on layering, integration, hybridization, ontological integrity, sensitivity, kindness, skill, connection and creativity, as I strive to nurture new or different relationships between previously un-, or otherwise related elements towards desirable outcomes. I believe that art is not just about creating aesthetically pleasing works, but about using creativity to make a positive impact on the world.

I pursue Radical Artistry as understood through the lens of Vita-Socio-Anarco (as explained in my glossary).

(I also like layering, integration, hybridisation, and things like ontological integrity, sensitivity, kindness, skill, connection and creativity; which, as mentioned before, I understand as nurturing new or different relationships between previously un-, or otherwise related elements towards desirable outcomes. Figuring out the last part of that definition, what desirable outcomes are, seems to me the hardest part. Perhaps that is what art is really all about.)
