Description
My art has always been based upon saying something. Am I get older, I seem to have more to say and more way in which to say it. Not understanding why yet, seems I have been on a mission to develop my art so I can say what I wish in an artful way. As a child, I remember the pollution and the tears I shared with Mother Earth. I also, in vivid color, remember the advertising campaign surrounding this subject. He was beside the road, a fully garbed American Indian, with a tear in his eye. Behind him, was the road or freeway, fully cover with our waste. What stuck me deeply was, it was not a created set., it was the norm. It, I consider, was one of the truest adverts ever created. We did change, we did up the mess and I was one who helped. Yet, in modern times, we still far from protecting her. Its the hidden that I fear most and I know my children will find it. This piece sums up that fear and sums up my concern for a lifetime. My art was not ever to the point I could express such things, but I feel I keep working, hoping some day, that my art will make one person stop and think. That person may be our next President. Please know, I care about our home and care about the legacy I leave behind. I know we must advance, but we need to use our gift as humans to always do what is right for her.
