For the sake of starting I am doing just that....starting.  I have been contemplating a blog with respect to my art practice for some time.  Why?  Why? Why?  That is the question.   In short, my work is not created in a vacuum and there are many associations/concerns/ideas/ideals that come into play when creating an art piece.  This considerations needfully disappear to the background and the work stands on its on merit.  But I have found that, for those who are interested, an understanding of motivations breathes a particular life into the work.  Does it demystify it?  Perhaps.  But then I do not feel this detracts from an appreciation of the work.  It still must stand on its own and I do not ever expect that my reasoning in its creation is paramount.  We all come with a unique set of sensors, developed in the unique incubator of our lives; and, therefore, even my imposed vision is subject to augmentation by the viewer's experience.

More will come as thought and time allow.  These are my thoughts.  They are neither correct or wrong, they simply are.
