My work is always ‘Research’, each work is a piece of ‘research.
I am my own ‘critic’. I do not compromise myself. I create what ‘is necessary’ to create at a given moment in time. My work is both ‘challenging’ for both me and for the ‘receptor’.
My work is embedded within the ‘culture’ in which I am living, within the ‘social’ and ‘political’ environment. My work by its very nature ‘transendental’ although it may well not endure / survive. Art for me is the closest I can get to ‘the spiritual’. The absence of ‘spirituality’ in Western Culture is part of its demise and collapse.
If we can redefine our ‘spiritualities’ we might find hope for a ‘new Renaissance’.
This aspect is missing from your 12 Brutal Lessons.
‘All Industrial’ existence is biologically and mentally disastrous for humans and the ecology / environment.
Art observes ‘morality’ and ‘everything else’.
Artist <=> Shaman
I am self supporting.
I lack the ‘so called ability’ to ‘sell myself’.
What I have to say does not equate with money or material ‘things’.
My work therefore resides within the ‘Metaphysical’.
Sorry for deleting your previous comment. I replied and wanted to edit my response, but then I accidentally deleted it. I didn’t find it harsh. It was productive, so I regret that it’s gone. Of course, this post is written in a rather provocative way. I want to spark more conversations like this. Your point is valid, and I find the pride you take in your art very inspiring! Keep sharing your thoughts :)
Sorry, I was unreasonably harsh.
I am an Artist (what ever that means).

Sorry is a silly word.
I ought to have said: I was wrong. I regret what I said. I apologise for my complete insensitivity and lack of rigor.
This is not being needlessly negative. I will continue to contribute.
Melvin.
However ‘Sorry’ is there to be used ………

You sound like what I would call a “pure” artist. Good luck. Stay a-live. Be safe. Keep creating. Fuck the naysayers. Or pity their lack of vision.
Thanks for this reminders. All paths have restrictions... I wish I was truly free from this oppressive status quo we live in as humans...
