Inspiration, by obligation, is to be passed on. Inspiration for what though? … : …  All beings seek enlightenment, whatever that means to whatever species in this apparent maze of life, perhaps to approach enlightenment is when one does less and less harm to others, and can perceive by whatever degree, the labyrinthine quality of day to day existence, that there is real meaning and necessity to what we go through here within the earthen body. And so, those that do harm to others are not in a space of clarity, and therefore, inspiration, overall, when it comes down to the central point, is for ecological awareness. The environment being all which surrounds us and equally so, is Us. As our beautiful once pristine planet is more and more enveloped with war and pollution of every sort, we need clarity of vision, with a quickness. The true visionaries of the world need be placed in a more responsible, respectable position, as in days of old, when things were in a somewhat better state of balance,, ecologically speaking. The active artist of any field of art can be looked to in this essential work, to create a more equitable world, one that works for all, all species included, not the few. This is my vision, it’s a life’s work, I hope it works.

Consider the enormous number of artists in the world these days and the truly titanic amount of art being created. Are there enough walls to hang all these pictures? Is there enough space to place our sculptures? What are we really trying to do as artists? Think, really go into it; what if these artisans and craftspeople were truly employed to truly beautify our cities,  homes, our landscapes, our architecture, everything we use? What if artists could  make a simple living without going through the process of reproductions; if the original piece of art is what mattered, if we traveled to see these originals? What if the Artist were replaced back into their original position as highly respected in society? Think of how different society would be. Imagine how wonderful things could become if we gave to imagination its rightful seat. Imagine if we were all educated from birth to think Ecologically – compassionately, as a unified whole? Imagine then what we’d have now, a whole different kind of world! It’s not too late; we have access to all we need to make it better, and no one is really stopping you – us – me, from doing this; we just think there is. The main reason I posted here such a large amount of my work is show that the Renaissance ideal is not lost, every human has many sides, aspects,facets to our being. Yet we’ve become over-specialized and have forgotten our whole humane self. Every human is every other human, in their own unique way. Art, of course, is not necessarily to decorate the walls we’ve built for ourselves, that is but a side effect. Our modern world is a prison in some ways;  art is, in its primal essence meant to free us from this, to remind us of some liberty which is obtainable, yet seemingly hidden for some reason, or another – if not for reason itself. We have a culture lacking in imagination, and too much rational, and thus it cuts off short its own present potential. Stuck in a world-view not up to date, never has been; therefore, we don’t see the world as it really is. So, we’ve created belief systems to uphold ignorant worldviews. Disagreements, and eventually wars result, and so the world suffers. Art can alleviate this global mental crisis. The ecological crises we’ve caused and we’re in – is this. We are capable of so much better than we have.
