About The Artist
As I grow older I find it increasingly difficult to communicate with words.
I find everyone knows more than I do anyway, about everything.
Maybe that is why I am happier with images?
I have been advised that I should write something for viewers to read that may help them understand,
if not the images, then myself, a little, at least.
Its taken me a year but I think I have found some words that now come close to that request.
When I was a younger man I had a lucky foresight toward wisdom and wrote the following poem for my wife
when a look says more than
and a touch says other than
a sigh less than
a kiss greater than
one knows much more than
words can
George Braque said Art disturbs, Science appeases
which could perhaps be expressed as Art questions, Science answers.
e e cummings wrote the following poem
when god decided to invent the world
he took one breath bigger than a circustent
and everything began
when man decided to destroy the world
he took the was of shall
and finding only why
smashed it into because
I hope these images ask many questions, without finding a because and allows you also to know more than words can.
