all that stands between us

quoting Kristy Perez:

Through working, the questions come to me like answers…

Every work is started and hopefully finished true (i.e. without decoration). There is no strict or formal doctrine. I use whatever materials are available (tripped over, stolen, given, traded, purchased).  Craft is important to me as it speaks of tradition. I do believe in bringing an element of discipline and precision to my work but allow myself to be more free in the handling of some materials, as I have learned that poetry is a favorite bedfellow of both the “ugly” and  “pristine”.  

The search is an endless self…or shelf….

It seems necessary to explore the notion of infinite human need and want toward consumption, the act and will (determination) of  us all…as in  subject/object/SELF.   This has become a reoccurring theme in my work lately.  I toy with the idea of suspension and pull as it relates to desire.  I think this is critical. We are all pounding away in our post/plural reality.  It’s an absurdity when everything is measured the same.   What does that say about sensation? …Where does beauty lie in relation to volatility? Who are we? what do we value? (true love or stuff ?)  Have we already arrived at ecstasy?

These are the questions so far.  

I’m invested in my work, willing to take a risk, and curious about the return.
