twelvebytwelve...

is here again...


September 29th, 2007 @ Fred Jones Industries Building, 900 W. Main...check it out @ www.ovac-ok.org/ovacnews.html


started my piece for this year's show...


the piece last year was "who holds the key to happiness" ... the piece was made after a break-up in a relationship and it was a question on my mind at the time...oddly enough it was the woman I had just ended a relationship with that bought the damn thing...I hope she still has it...


I'm somewhat of a reflective at times...I tend to look at things at a little bit of a distance...this is probably due to the fact that I also tend to keep a little distance from most others around me on a personal level...people who "know" me from hanging out socially only really know "of me"...that's not to say that they don't have opinions about me (I hear they do)...it's just that on a true personal level I keep mostly to myself...I guess we all do in some way...


I suppose in making art you tend to let people glimpse inside you all of the time...like opening the blinds a bit...but going back to the conversation of "what is art?", art, by it's nature, is subjective anyway, so what people may be attributing to you probably resides within themselves...that goes along with having an opinion about someone as well...


so while I'm still in this reflective loop of inner emotions, self and shit like that, I started working on this...





it started out as something about "fractured heart"...but has since evolved into an openness that lets others see in...


I like that better, since my heart isn't necessarily fractured, but I do let people see in occasionally...
