You know when you go to a gallery and there's information about the artist and you sit or stand there and read it? Especially if you are a nerd like me? Well, I have two and a half hours to touch up my own artist statement, and all I can think of is how difficult it is to express into words what your visual images are about! This artist statement is not likely to be shown at my show, y'know, the let art speak for itself, but knowing how to do something like this is important for future shows and competitions etc. What's worse is that I consider writing another hobby, though I don't get to do it as much if at all.
As you can see from the top, there is a new page titled Artist Statement; it has not been posted yet, but it will be, along with pieces I have been working on. I also thought about getting a flickr account for more and better viewing of my work instead uploading everything here. I don't know yet.
For now I'll just sip my coffee and write away.
Good luck, I hope you get it written. I love reading artist's statements.
