Artist Statement

I think they’re making me do it, from their home in space. Unsure if this was imbedded into their programing or if this is an unforeseen consequence of some unrelated actions they carry out. These satellites must be disrupting my normal thought patterns, manipulating them – therefore manipulating my actions. Hasn’t been easy, what with the (low-grade serous ovarian cancer) my wife has in her beautiful human body (unsure why this occurred, as she is a gem of a gal and would never have caused harm to any component of either the natural or manufactured systems we inhabit). Decay is the day’s order. The renewal aspect of our natural world is now seen as a liability by too many. Will we survive? All humanity, my lovely wife, or I? In our shared, created system only money assists survival, planned this way by those who possess the item in abundance. We (my family) currently have little of this material. But YOU…you who have read these words, if you purchase this art you are not only providing for our survival you are also providing for OUR survival. Creating love helps! Buying art helps too.

There are two default states of the Universe: Cold not hot, and Attraction not Repulsion. Thankfully, the second of these counters the first as Attraction prevents a cold and static Universe from forming. To win this cosmic war Attraction must win out!

Entropic people can hold us back. They try to break down connections, or use them in a duplicitous manner. Attractive people move us forward. They build connections, engage, and invite us all into a better world. This isn’t describing simply a physical beauty but Attraction on so many more deeper levels as well. They are the ones who keep Humanity intact!

Why’d they pick me? No idea, I’m colorblind to begin with. I am simply their puppet, controlled by thoughts unbidden. The satellites told me to do it, they beam back what they’ve collected and interpreted. Putting out positivity or joy will return joy, and vice versa. Please stay positive! (our survival depends on it) We’re made of stars, but can act like them too, shinning in the darkness. Radiate positivity! Give the monsters only light to feed upon.

Is any thing made of something not of it’s Environment? No. Environment not only affects how one is but also IF one is. To even exist we need a nurturing, welcoming Environment. Love, more than anything, creates that Environment.

I will strive to do ‘try-weekly’ updates here (under New Work), but not social media (for good reasons, both personal and political). So what are you to do in-between? Please…spend time with loved ones, because life moves too fast.

Love Up, Love Out
