requisition of clarity
for security's sake
will be threatened by desire
to control the future
forgoing the wisdom and
pain the present provides

Where is this all going? Unclear. I still stand by my conviction that the creation of art is a humanitarian effort, helping to uplift the human spirit. And, I firmly believe that I am still tapping into the undertow of chaos and fear in our society. An undertow that is pervasive and unspoken, affecting us all on many levels, but not reinforced in our current-day images. Walk around and look at what is being shown to us, and then try to understand the conflict between what we see and what we feel. Imagine seeing images like those below instead of sales pitches of how we SHOULD feel, how we SHOULD look, how we SHOULD LIVE. Imagine everybody creating and seeing there own REAL reality, not afflicted by the barrage of commercial images.

Need I say more.
