Whether I am painting, making music or videos, I am invested in finding something that is transportive. I think it's the artist's role to bring higher meaning into this world.
I often think about the necessity of mystery, which is the vessel that allows intangibility to plant itself. Perceiving undefined things and allowing intangibility to provide you with what you will attribute the undefined things to, is more significant than just perceiving something in terms of how relevant it is to this world. Understanding the practical purpose of something and largely associating that kind of definition to it makes intangibility less able to attribute itself to that thing. I find it to be a difficult paradox in the need to know how to do things in order to fruitfully manifest intuitive urges. I leave everything to time and look for what it presents that is surprising or somehow resonates. Throughout the process I follow experimentation and intuition without concern of straying from any plans. I like exploring the dualities between planning and going by the moment. In the end, plans are basically whimsical sketches that I expect to stray from. I find that the creation of art is about discovery through the process. I am interested in the ways in which music and images have the ability to alter one another limitlessly. Whether I'm painting while listening to music or creating a film/writing a scene that is inspired by music, there is a vibration I imagine between the music and visuals. I have always been inspired by atmospheres that the mind creates and wondered how much of it can be manifested into reality. Reality is limited so the fun is in seeing what you can create within that limitation. |
