CONSTRUCTING: The FINAL DREAM
March 25th, 2015... I just stumbled into a PowerPoint presentation I put together in 2007 while in the middle of grad. school at I.S.U. What is interesting about being an artist is that we often times don't exactly understand why we do what we do. Possibly the most important concept I picked up at ART SCHOOL was to follow my intuitive creative spirit wherever it led me... to make art first, and explain the art second... to not worry if I didn't know why I was making what I was making... to just make it. Over time, the purpose of the work will be revealed. One thing leads to another and if we stay true to ourselves, our visions, and intentions eventually we will get to a time and place where our ideas come together... we step out of the dark and into the light... and the creations before us reach far beyond what we could have ever initially imagined. That's when we know we are on the right track and that's what I'm coming to understand... is the will of GOD (so to speak).
My journey... from making ART > to CONSTRUCTING: The FINAL DREAM > to building INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENTS > to discovering EMPYREUM ENTERPRISES > to organizing THE SCIENTIFIC KINGDOMS OF SPIRITUAL CONNECTION > to writing/illustrating the story of tidbit > to attempting to restore balance where great imbalances exist > to surrendering to the will of GOD. Where is it leading me... only GOD knows. I am excited to see what new mysteries will be revealed as I continue to step back and forth from out of the dark and into the light.
There are a few ideas within this presentation that I no longer agree with... but as life goes... "some things change and some things stay the same." However, I can now see that many of the ideas I was working out at that time contributed to the story of tidbit... and THE SCIENTIFIC KINGDOMS OF SPIRITUAL CONNECTION.
