Cold studio this morning. Listening to the rain outside my window and thinking about the things I have been reading about modern art recently. I think what I have realized is that first, there isn't really anything new under the sun... I realized that while I am totally free to create whatever works of art I want, I am far more interested in beauty, than in edginess, or provocation. My thinking is that beauty, and by beauty I mean, honesty, intelligence, love, etc. -
is the answer to many problems of our society. I don't if my art will ever have any social implications, but I know one thing and that is if one finds a place of absolute beauty within oneself, it will make more difference than protests, hatred and offenses. That's whats on my mind today.
