"In Geometry the existence of the point precedes creation of the line. This is evidenced in the natural world as the seed begets shoot; birth begets lifeline; destination begets Journey, and a celestial body begets a line of gravitational force with all other celestial bodies. In this piece the prey begets the predator's trajectory and purpose."
Get the point or I'm dropping this celestial body on you...
Bad Artist Statements
“As my artist’s statement explains, my art is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.” – Calvin

The Hegemony of Lust
"What starts out as vision soon becomes corroded into a hegemony of lust, leaving only a sense of chaos and the possibility of a new synthesis. As spatial impressions become clarified through emergent and diverse practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the inaccuracies of our condition."
So -- are we talking domination and submission? Exactly what inaccuracies are illuminated here?

The thrust to restore lost unity
"My flowers speak of nostalgia for a lost unity, for the detachment from the totally indistinct needed by the intelligence to exist, to individuate."
To merge, or not to merge;
that is the question:
Whether 'tis Nobler
in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows
of Insensitive Critics,
Or to take arms against
the Sea of Rationality,
And by opposing drift away:
to die, to sleep in some lost Unity;
and by a sleep, to say we end
the heart-ache, and the thousand
natural shocks that art is heir to --
'Tis an Individuation
Devoutly to be wished...

Like the colors of a frappe
"...the television aesthetic made of worlds that blend into one another endlessly like the colors of a frappe..."
Ooh, I love this one -- and now I'm realizing I love these because they offer such a terrific opportunity to show off my own bad art. Turns out I can illustrate just about ANYTHING!!!
My husband took one look at this image and went, "Blecchhhh!" -- which is pretty much how I responded to this statement... I mean, when's the last time you had a frappe that had more than one color in it?
