Gesture and Flux

The reality of cultural expression is continuous change.


Even so, artistic choices remain those related to color, tone, mood, composition, atmosphere, movement, and all the other elements that delineate and expand upon emotions, ideas, and the representations, whether abstract or concrete in nature, of the facts of existence, the human condition, and the peculiarities of imagination.

Nothing else is more critical in terms of aesthetic expression-- neither the extravagances of the artistic ego nor the passionate impulses of social communities can make false works ring true.
