Artist statement

THIS IS A NON-ARTIST STATEMENT. Lots of art is accompanied by cute n’ crude sets of words aimed to summarize meaning and purpose, a route ironically bypassing the real meat of the work itself. My intention, if an artist’s input should even be counted, is to invite, not to explain. Boredom, after all, like curiosity, only dances when there is nothing ready-made to satisfy it. Stay a while– sulk, spiral, then sink in. Get comfortable in the uncomfortable, and you’ll realize it was never there in the first place.
