re: artist statements:
"i read it !!! DELIGHTFULLY INSANE TEXT !!! I wonder how much I only understand telemagically and how much would be incoherent to the boring majority, I LOVE IT ! but I am insane and KNOW you, I wonder if less overall content, or tangents could be more accessible to a larger general audience.. maybe more intriguing than puzzling? an exercise that I want to try for myself is to write and optimize my one page version, then optimize a half page version, then optimize a couple paragraph version, then a one paragraph.. all the way down to an optimized one sentence version, and if you can, a ONE or two word 'essence' of your artmaking DRIVE. THEN when you're done with this process, REWRITE ALL of the versions, in the opposite order to make sure that all of the expanded 'wholes' are in harmony with this reduced 'essence'. A friend pointed out once that she wrote her 'couple sentenses' AND her 'one sentense' version on a card in her pocket so they become automatic, helps her when she meets new people. they say "what is your art about? you have a sweet concise memorable sound-bite-ish version that you confidently spit out. If they care then they question and you tell more. I am not sane enough to follow this advice myself"
