FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION

Installations, my installational work basically evolved out of the ad-lib way I have lead my creative life. Opportunities presented, venues to fill quickly, in the most dynamic way possible. You realize early on, or at least I did, that the successful presentation of any work depended greatly on the setting, and on the audience. I felt I had to adjust to the parameters presented to me. The more I mastered this, the better the result, the more I got into a type of choreography. This being said, I still basically considered myself a painter. I'm sure not a lot of this would have happened had I had viable exhibition opportunities for my paintings early on. I didn't quite realize that I was embarking on a new form, and that that form required a certain type of documentation, only realizing recently that the result of all that would be labeled under the product label of  "photography".

More on this later.

A definitive art statement, so difficult for me. I 'm always in pursuit of new ideas that interest me. In my recent past when I was actively pursuing exhibitions, I have had several versions, that I'm hoping as I go back and re-read them, don't vary wildly in their intent. I googled myself and saw one I hadn't seen in a while, I read it as if it was written by a stranger, sometimes my own writing is beyond me. I have to go back and try to re-create in my mind my stance at that time. I'll post, when I have the time,
and be my own critic.
