looking thru the window
a framed perspective
of experiences
art like most things is just process…it means nothing
and it is everything…
I stop trying to place meanings
and justifications in my works but
just continue working on ideas that
I feel strongly attracted to…
in this sense I feel a total immersion during the process
and those are the best feelings
I ever experienced…
it is addictive.

but then again, to recognize and differentiate fear and guilt from other feelings, one must be aware of arrogance, rage, hate, greed, revenge…the undertones of these acts can then be converted to forward thinking…wah! I sound so much like a sage….
Anyways, it has been more then 10 years by now since I embarked on this journey of sculpting and I have not grown the wiser…so much for my philosophies… but one thing for sure is that I have encountered so much anxieties and uncertainties…no regular income, when is the next meal, family, friends, relatives alienating from me…some sort of holocaust of sorts for me…but interestingly, it is as though these extremities were meant to assist me in my process of creating. I was led to utilize discarded materials that others do not see any use in them…I see the beautiful transformation in them…I want my viewers to enjoy and resonate the beautiful intensities as I have and still.
My obsession to create whatever that came to mind poses a challenge to streamline my thought process. I decided to initially categorize my creative thoughts into four primary areas.

My obsession to create whatever that came to mind poses a challenge to streamline my thought process. I decided to initially categorize my creative thoughts into four primary areas.
Realization – covers my spiritual, and philosophical views
Emergence – reflects the current emotions, emotions and intensities that I encounter and subsequently register a moment that is sustaining
Characters – people whether fictional or real that has made a permanent impression on me …comic characters, novels, movies, celebrities……
Chess pieces – understanding how society compartmentalizes the roles of people to bring a certain order to existence
It is not a hard and fast rule but just to move towards a clearer position where I can appreciate more about my process….it is definitely better than the haphazard and chaotic manner that I started off with.
