state·ment
Pronunciation[steyt-muhnt]
–noun
1. something stated.
2. a communication or declaration in speech or writing, setting forth facts, particulars, etc.
3. a single sentence or assertion: I agree with everything you said except for your last statement.
4. Commerce. an abstract of an account, as one rendered to show the balance due.
5. an appearance of a theme, subject, or motif within a musical composition.
6. the act or manner of stating something.
7. the communication of an idea, position, mood, or the like through something other than words: The furniture in the room makes a statement about the occupant's love of color. Walking out of the meeting will be a statement of our refusal to submit.
8. Computers. an instruction or other elementary component in a high-level programming language.
Artist "statements" seem as though they should be profound. (i.e. My work reflects...blah blah...")
Gah!
The problem is... I have nothing profound to say in this area. I can say that all of my paintings reflect "me," in one way or another, but...that is neither here nor there. Painting, for me, is not about the degrees I have attained (Yes, I have two, neither of which are in art). My paintings are not meant to be embedded with something so intense that you collapse to your knees in insight, they are just simply, "me."
With all of that said, Welcome. Above everything, thank you for taking a moment to look at my art. I do not have a "guestbook" but I thoroughly enjoy hearing feedback... especially the negative. So.. carry on ... and again... Thanks.
