Here is an abstracted study of color and texture involving the use of spaghetti:

Observing Transitions in a Subconscious Product of My Own Reality

I've been basing my work off of creating messes, and the psychoanalytical importance of childhood latent inhibition. Unfortunately I cannot post the video of my conscious creation of this space which is an integral part of this underlying premise, however I can at least show you a sample of the overlying premise.

The main sequence of 4 photographs illustrates my beliefs concerning the explanation of the sequencing and transitions in dreams. It is in this blatant disregard for outside stimuli or research off which I base this work to correlate directly into conscious explanations of our physical world are often explaned through imaginative practice or the need to explain. In this search for a truth that is true to my own person I am further understanding the my world uniquely through my own eyes, which then connects to the idea that dreams are a product of our own receptivity in our waking life. Dreams are sequences of absorbed stimuli which are product of our own waking reality. Therein, dreams are the cycling of all stimuli we have experienced or thought about consciously or subconsciously throughout the day. The dreams you remember are the ones in which your 5^th stage of sleep is disturbed, this is the state in which you enter R.E.M. If you are brought out of that state (this doesn’t always mean fully awake), then it is my contention that the narrative dream that you remember is the minds way of constructing an understandable link among all of the thoughts that were cycling at that time. The awkward transitions in dreams are a product of disconnected ideas being forced together into an understandable narrative. It is in this sequence of 4 photographs that I centralize the idea of a particular transition in symbols and narrative style (i.e. the transition of a mood in a dream), which is all a product of a performance piece which I did in the room prior, symbolizing my waking actions producing subconscious cycles of thought. The performance created the installation which was the foundation for the "thoughts" to cycle.

GETTING SHIT DONE, SON!

For a while now i really cant pass a moment with idle hands. I have this manic/contemplative way of approaching what I do and my reality. The contemplation really has been there before.. but with this manic attitude I've developed over the last year, it really just has got me thinking about a lot of interesting things! I've come to realize how interesting everything is, and this feeling just perpetuates the thought that I will never know as much as i want to know. This is fine with me though, because it makes me want to keep learning

anyways. a lot of what I've been creating has been kept under wraps, but essentially it is art the deals with the reexamination of process as well as how that correlates into the finished product, and the importance of the relation between the action, the materials, and the finished product as well.

I have really found the value in practicing hard at what I do, specifically but not limited to an instrument. In order to fully express an idea, sometimes I feel that technique is important. That is not to say that complicated hand work makes a good musical piece or a good art piece, but sometimes there are things you want to say that have varying levels of technique, and the ability to do what needs to be done in order to get these ideas across is crucial. This is an idea I have floundered around with, going from art that was pure technique, pop-surrealist "eye-candy" if you will, to strictly conceptual ideas. I think that in playing the piano and seeing the importance of some fancy finger-work at times, I began to reexamine my art and see that there is an importance to similarly grasp fancy brushwork , pen-work , or detailed action. However, I firmly believe that the best art is a piece of art that captures an aesthetic which can be talked about on many levels. This idea of art with "open closure" I feel is best shown with the development of conceptual ideas, and completely understanding the language that you are using in everything you do. Often, we are saying something we don't even realize when we put images together. It is essentially learning the language of everything. All symbology, connections, and histories can be explored through this language, but it truly takes a master to know exactly what it is you are saying with your own art. Essentially, every action can be an exploration of another if you have the insight to look at it from many angles. Essentially it is my goal to learn to mediate my stance concerning the physical world, philosophical theories, and psychoanalytical issues through the medium of art and its various forms... It is this exploration that intrigues, excites, and often keeps me up until the weeeeeeeeeeee hours of the morning.

well anyways, here is a link to my most current music

If you are interested I have quite a great deal of my recorded progress as well as composed pieces of piano and sound art, and would love to share my ideas with anyone.

Anyways... I'm currently working on devising a set for a directorial photography/mini installation project I am undertaking, I'll put up pictures of the finished product!


Well anyways, here is a picture of art I have found to be particularly inspirational as of late.
