| Personal Statement | |
| I had a rant I was thinking about today at work. Now I can't quite remember it. I suppose that's always how your thoughts work, but in this case, it is particularly irritating. I feel like I've got so much to say. Yet no real grasp on how to say it. Words fail me. Arts fail me. Musics fail me. Logics fail me. It's like running in the quicksand. And time is running out. Or it feels like it is. Is the message more important than the delivery? I would say so. And if you also say so, is integrity compromised by using sources that are not 100% FROM the artists? Their own personal creation? If the end product is not completely the artists vision, and if everything hasn't come around from their own fruition, does it diminish the message? Right now I'm not sure. I'm trying to (lets not kid oursleves, I'm forcing myself to) explore and cultivate my "traditional" techniques. Because I want to see if I am wrong in creating the art I have been creating, for pretty much the entirety of trying to be "serious" about art. I use that term loosely because art is a child's profession. A foolish dream that people try too hard to be respected for. Is it egotistical to claim you are not? To pride oneself on their absence of ego? I think most children (for we all are. Or wish we were) get entrenched in the "regular guy" ideology, and seem to forget that it has turned out to be just as much of an egotistical idea. Maybe there is no way to be ego free. Being ego free only feeds it. These ramblings are proof. Have a look. It starts with every mans most important and cherished word. "I". Maybe self-doubt is the only cure. But maybe cure is the wrong word, maybe ego isn't the disease we've all been trained to think it is. Maybe we all should become bug chasers. The above statement is false. The above statement is false. blah blah blah blah blah. |
