Today I was talking to my friend Laura . She asked me how I got into sculpting. It was a bit of a long story, I probably put her to sleep. ;) But anyway, somewhere or somehow I got to thinking... about art, sculptures, what it means to me and what I want to accomplish with myself. I have studied art a bit, and its history.. well, not as much as I would like to, but that is something for another day... but what is on my mind now, is that I wonder how art is evolving and changing over time. And, I wonder if my art is a step forward in sculpture. I wonder if art as a whole is growing because of what I do. Even if not very many people have seen it, I know it is unique and different then all other sculpture. It reminds me of another theory, that every time someone breaks a new world record, our species evolves on some small level; as we are pushing our boundaries and capabilities as human beings. So I wonder if the same is true for art, and what I do. I think about artists like da Vinci, Dali, Van Gogh, and others.. who have each their individual styles and have influenced art throughout their time and our time. It seems like da Vinci's style has been lost on many levels in modern art; like the way he created a portrait isn't being used today. Well, it probably is, but perhaps isn't as popular (I don't really know). So anyways, I would like to see myself creating sculptures on higher levels of art, meaning that I want them to push the limits of what we know about art and sculpture today. To see if I can create a new type of art or expression or something from what I do.
