I OFFER A DECONSTRUCTIVE APPROACH TO LIFE AND ART FOR SURVIVING IN A SEEMINGLY DISEMPOWERING WORLD.
THIS MEANS I BELIEVE:
YOU ARE THE AUTHORITY OF YOUR ART AND LIFE IN GENERAL.
YOUR IDEAS ARE WORTHY OF EXPRESSION
YOUR ART IS VALUABLE IN YOUR CHOSEN CONTEXT; WHATEVER THAT MAY BE.
ANYTHING CAN BE ART.
ART CAN TAKE MANY FORMS AND HAVE MANY USES.
ART CAN BE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PRESENCE, PROCESS AND EXPLORATION AND DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY OTHER AGENDA.
ART CAN BE A POWERFUL VEHICLE FOR COMMUNICATION.
ART CAN BE TRANSFORMATIVE AND HEALING
ART CAN BE AN OUTLET FOR PAIN.
ART CAN BE A MIRROR.
ART CAN BE A WINDOW INTO YOUR SOUL AND CAN BE A VESSEL FOR FORMING PERSONAL MEANING AND TRUTHS.
ART CAN BE A DOORWAY TO SPIRITUALITY AND A FOUNDATION FOR CONNECTING WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF.
ART CAN SERVE AS A FORM OF REBELLION AND PROTECTION WHEN NECESSARY.
ART IS MAGICK AND CAN BE A POWERFUL TOOL FOR SHAPING REALITY.
ART CAN BE USED FOR THE ASSERTION OF FREEDOM AND INDIVIDUALITY AS WELL AS CONNECTION AND INTERDEPENDENCE.
ART IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO CERTAIN PEOPLE OR GROUPS.
WE ALL HAVE THE POWER TO BE AGENTS OF CHANGE: BY CHANGING OURSELVES WE CHANGE THE WORLD.
THERE ARE NO STANDARDS OTHER THAN THOSE WE CHOOSE TO LIVE BY.
THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES.
EVERYTHING IS QUESTIONABLE.
I HOPE MY CREATIONS WILL INSPIRE YOU TO:
RECOGNIZE AND ALLOW ANY DESIRE YOU MAY HAVE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF.
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE WORTHY OF EXPRESSION AND YOUR UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE IS NEEDED.
UNDERSTAND HOW YOU EXPRESS AND CONNECT WITH YOURSELF IS VALUABLE ON ITS OWN AND DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ABOUT OUTCOMES, MONETARY VALUE, OR SATISFYING ANYONE ELSE.
UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF INTENTION AND IMAGINATION AVAILABLE TO YOU AND CONSIDER HOW YOU’D LIKE TO USE IT.
EMBRACE AND EXPRESS YOUR UNIQUE VISION IN ART OR OTHER AREAS OF LIFE.
RECOGNIZE WHOSE IDEAS ARE BECOMING YOUR TRUTHS AND CONSIDER IF THEY’RE STILL PREFERRED OR NECESSARY.
REFLECT ON YOUR PATH AND CONSIDER IF IT’S IN ALIGNMENT WITH WHAT YOU TRULY WANT.
CREATE A SOLID RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF THROUGH DEDICATION TO THE CONTINUOUS PROCESS OF NEGOTIATING WHAT MATTERS TO YOU.
UTILIZE THE POWER OF YOUR IMAGINATION TO HELP CO-CREATE A BETTER WORLD FOR US ALL.
RELEASE ANY SHOULDS THAT COME UP IN YOUR LIFE.
RECOGNIZE THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE YOUR WORST ENEMY BUT CAN BE YOUR MOST LOYAL COMPANION INSTEAD.
