Reason and analysis don’t work, but you can’t mistake that punch to the gut, or the diaphragmic zephyr.

Think of your artist's vision as liquid intelligence, separate altogether from your solid-state brain; allow it to find its own level, to penetrate a psychic stratum deep within you, permeate and carve its trace.

“weight of liberty”

That first moment of radical seeing shines the essential light on all the rest of the creative landscape; images multiply, generate kinships and metaphor, become inevitable.

one story one thousand ways

you are an artist, and it’s too late to back out. you have no choice, to take aim upon your life and discard all the debris that holds you back from doing what you know you have to do.

the life you lead is your art and the art you make is your life.
