Inner Discovery....

I have found the true meaning of my art. Or rather the art. To erase the personal and find what justifies the afore mentioned. It took a little digging and honesty, but I found it. This makes no sense, I know and I wish I could explain it to you (the reader), but I cannot. This discovery was for myself to learn. I recommend every artist do this search, but only when in the correct frame of brain. To reduce the ego and ask truly honest questions as to why one creates. The world is full of contrasting ideas and opposing values. An artist must be honest with what one is in search of. Once discovering that, erase it. That is only the surface. To truly find the aspirations and inspirations of what one considers the muse behind art. It is usually far deeper than that. Some, if not most, do not want to dig so deep as to discover the meanings of why they do what they do. I like the ugliness behind beauty. The raw behind the polished. The dirt swept under the rug. This is where the essence of an object really is. Eye candy is alright, but truth is enlightenment. Not in the religious sense, just in the human sense.
