THE ARTISTIC WORLDVIEW
As
an artist, I aim to present my creation, not in isolation,
but as part of an interconnected divine fabric.
In sharing my vision / personal experience, I fix
it forever in imposing a permanent, artificial structure
on transient chaos from which it arose. My work should arouse feelings
and maximize my
audience’s emotional commitment. I offer my creation
to others, serving as their intermediary. Its birth
can be traced to my isolation, suffering, ego
suppression, then awakening , connecting -- sometimes
by analogizing -- and above all, my empathizing. I
hope that, in it, most perceive some of the
harmony, vibrant mystery / grace that I have beheld.
(Note: Some artistic creations are more narrowly
focused! Many are born when passive looking ends
and active observing begins. To some,
all creative thinkers are artists!)
