Bio~ Self taught photographer who has lived in downtown Minneapolis for 10 years.
Tell me about your work? What are you currently working on? How is this different from past projects?
I don’t’ do projects. I wander around and wait for something to beg me to take a picture of it.
Isolation III
"What is Art?" is certainly too big of a question to ask here, but what do you hope your audience takes away from your art? What statement do you hope to make?
Art is what remains after you strip away your ego. Art presents itself to you when you have cleared the channels and let the essence of pure energy flow through you.
Light Escape
What was the best advice given to you as an artist?
Listen to others to learn the mechanics of art. Listen to no one including yourself for the process of creation of art. Be patient. Don’t do something. Just sit there. Wait with an open mind. Art comes from hearing the whisper of the essence of life. You have to learn to hear that voice. It comes to those who wait. Think of taming a wolf. You don’t chase the wolf. You wait respectfully for it to approach you on it’s own terms.
