I believe art is an expression of the deep unconscious,
and stems from a pool of ideas that we all share.
It is raw imagery, sound, and movement,
from the free nature of the spirit.
​
Society’s conventions and cultural language
subsequently inhibit its release.
Art expresses a deep wisdom
that our daily thinking self
doesn’t always keep up with.
The words that come to us without thinking,
the sensations,
the free-moving notions,
are invitations from our inner spirit.
If nature is speaking to us,
what is it saying?
How often do we
allow our bodies
to guide us,
As opposed to the mental fixation
of moving from
point A to point B?
Point A and B
don’t exist.
We have the authentic guide
inside.
Wherever the body leads,
go there.
To walk down a street,
to speak to someone,
follow it.
The body is bringing us
to views it needs us to see.
There are large forces at play
that we don't need to outsmart.
There’s no coincidence,
because all of life is a co-incidence.
