"Demising Line,"  12/2013

 

 

My paintings have their own and individual beginnings. To try and establish when they start, is quite impossible. Sometimes the ideas come from dreams, preconceptions, mixed, with daily, and life experiences.

 

The periods when the work flows are exilerating. When the "pause" of creativity occurs, it is quite frustrating, and anxeity provoking. It is not posssible to force spontaneity. When deciding on wether to wait, or to make a move, one needs courage, while it seems that the leap ahead, is as dangerous as jumping from the edge of a canyon.

 

At times the dry period lasts only days, but when the "pause" is longer, the feeling of doubt, judgment, and anxiety is pervasive.

 

I know that all this is necessary in the progression of the creative urge, and that to try to subvert this, would lead only to non-productive, plain, ordinary, manufacture of items devoid of any beauty or esthetics.
