A LETTER TO MY FRIENDS IN THE MYSPACE REALM,
As life comes, we travel through it, destination unknown.
Art is everywhere, but not everyone sees the world through the eyes of an artist.
To be an artist, one must be a recorder of life, a lover of its imperfections, and a constant student of everything it entails.
The spark of creation comes in the form of a new idea, without it there is simply darkness.
We are the constant targets of propaganda and media generalization.
Allow yourself to be yourself, through and through.
Life is unique to each living creature and never a duplication. Never.
A perception of reality is merely a perception of reality. That simply complex understanding takes my art to a place I could never go without it. A fish swimming knows nothing of the water that is all around him, I believe we too are this way with the world we live in. I am learning through my journey as an artist what exactly this water is that surrounds us.
My art should captivate your imagination,
rattle your perceptions,
open new perspectives,
stir your emotion,
and push the limits of your understanding
of the world we live in.
I strive to meet those goals as an artist.
As I consider life my primary subject, I am constantly studying, analyzing, and filtering my own ideas and the ideas "given" to me by the media, religion, government, culture and society.
Life, time, reality, injustice, perception, perspective, hypocrisy, materialism, religion, and socialization are all themes to keep in mind while viewing my art.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to capture your
attention, imagination, and heart.
Beyond the art is an artist in search of only one goal, understanding.
This constant inner journey leaves my mind weary with ideas that I strive to capture and share with you.
To love life is to respect life.
With upmost gratitude and humility,
Kristen
~I am an artist~
~I feel my way through life~
~I question ideas accepted by the majority~
~I study the moment, the experience~
~I eat it, I breathe it, I sleep with it~
~It is what drives me~
~To understand me, understand my mission~
~If you follow the masses, don't disturb my individuality~
