ART SPEAK
"Say what?" - à la carte - exclusively for: poking fun at: my, 'way too serious,' self
My Art Dissembled - A recitation of my mission, aesthetic, and practice.
- mundane objects are embedded, thereby imbuing the profane with caché by elevating them to venerated, mystical, totems
- transforming, repurposing, and mutating images by entwining imaginary juxtapositions of, 'time & space,' collisions
- creating art formed into an amalgam; composed of elements, and strata of disparate objects fused into an original - '...new, never before existent: realm, relic, or bejeweled passage, a portal, or an envisioned cosmos'
- 'experimenting' - by pushing traditional printmaking processes, techniques, and boundaries to their attenuated extremes
- a synastry of materials and extrapolated, divergent techniques not traditionally incorporated into the creation of one artwork
- shattering, blurring, and escaping restraints of: size, material-performance limits, blending application tools, post-print manipulation, such as patination, gilding, creasing , folding, sewing and forms construction
- ignoring taboos regarding: tensile strength of substrates, physical and chemical properties of oil and aqueous based media, viscosity, density of marks, and the mechanical parameters of press, ink and plate.
