What if it’s all an elaborate hoax?
How often do you contemplate your existence? That whole examined life routine. I bet it was a whole lot more over these past two years.
I don’t think my show is about that contemplation, but it might be.
So, it’s Sunday afternoon, and I need to gather my thoughts to self-promote this show because it feels like I’m the one who should. But I don’t want to seem like a super-slick salesperson or a charlatan like I could even pull that off if I tried.
I don’t even know what I’m selling.
Is this show my attempt at communicating with you in a higher realm? Yes, it is.
Is this my authentic visual language? Yes, it must be. Why? Because it’s what comes out naturally.
What do I hope for this show? I hope you can see it in person, and I hope I’m there when you do so we can talk about this crazy life. And I hope it connects with you on some level.
At this point in my life, I’m on a quest to be as authentic as possible. I shouldn’t have to say that out loud, but given the times in which we live, I thought I should.
Maybe I should have entitled this entry, “You won’t believe which celebrity hates this art!” or “See why this artist lost his mind!”
And maybe I should have just left all this work under my bed. I probably won’t even get one “like.” 😉
Peace,

What if it’s not?
