#9 - A Thing So Grand (...)

Many people have written about human determination. I'm sure there are loads of writings on the power of the mind, the importance of persistence, and how human kind is meant to pierce the heavens...so i won't really go into that....

what i will talk about, however, is something about human existence that is important to me...our ability to change

there is constant talk of the human ability to "create" and in a basic sense i guess we can call it creation...really though it's manipulation...everything we seek to create is already there, it does require assembly though....

when physicists say that matter can not be created or destroyed this is what they are getting at...i know nothing is impossible so depending on definitions and our eventual advancement, creation and destruction are possible...but in a grand sense the manipulation of one thing into a combination does "create" a new thing

i take great pleasure in this process of manipulation

as an artist not only do i manipulate material and emotional matter, but i (hopefully) generate enough energy to keep the manipulation process moving in my viewer, and by way of them, those they come into contact with....

it is for the best that we all do our everything possible to bring our "creation" to levels that cannot be expressed by our meager methods of communication...a thing so grand, it defies the very nature of existence, thereby creating a new concept of creation....

please don't take this responsibility lightly, the unexplainable will need us all....

i give myself to that which is unnameable.
