A. Artist’s statement
The more I comprehend and the more I know, the less I care about knowing.
But, amongst a life of idleness and common pleasures, I was lucky to discover an extraordinary “body calligraphy”. By mixing in a little bit of culture, it can be used to explain the overflowing methods, wisdom, values, meanings etc of this world, – especially clearing away all rubbish talk of baseness and nobility, obscenity and elegance, ugliness and beauty . . . by the same token, the material’s originality and its rawness screams to be noticed, I can hardly refuse its potential to be employed to explore new ways to communicate and to create, something remarkable that can stand the test of time...
Changing one’s point-of-view, the method of engaging a task – this makes one happy . . . maybe my interest in art stems from a natural predilection for counter-revolutionary imaginings about power & expertise and thought & action . . . maybe it’s too difficult for me to transcend “see the mountain as not mountain, see the water as not water”, to attain true clarity. I should think about this.
What will happen if we realized that our folksy existential pleasures can give us just the same taste and glimpse of freedom that an art form promises? Only God knows!
