ARTISTIC REBELLION

'Whenever an artist is subjected to the influx of superficial messages and uninspiring or disturbing images, or is expected to tidy up after some one else,  posterity is robbed of a portion of the artist's legacy.


The gestures, movements and actions of the hand and eye, create the powerful building blocks with which artists painstakingly create their work.


These Alchemical energies should never be wasted on the trivialities of life. It is the artists responsibility to direct it towards the flowering of it's beneficial potential.


Artists should carefully guard the time and energy available, for the fulfillment of their calling and be ever vigilant in detecting those, who willfully or covertly, avoid encouraging them, but find pleasure in distracting them from their production.' -Aleta Michaletos

THE ARTIST'S ROLE IN SOCIETY

 I am one of the 7 artists interviewed around the world, and I share my opinion (from a personal viewpoint) about what I think the artists role in society is.

SHEER LUNACY

There's something seriously wrong,
when legitimate concerns are raised
and it keeps on falling on deaf ears, 
with the predictable result 
that no remedial action is either instantly, 
or for that matter, 
ever taken.

ENVY

2014 November 15
'This morning I thought (again....) how easily we envy the young who are fresh and are able to START OUT.
However, when you are older or even much older, you can always START OVER with the added aid of your life's experience....'

RE-INVENTION




'I love observing plants and trees and how, although they remain rooted in one spot, they continuously grow and send out new shoots, leaves or even flowers. 

That which is no longer useful is discarded and recycled and becomes 'compost' or the feeding ground, from which the plant is able to draw additional nourishment.

At this stage of my life, is not exactly possible to 'start all over'.

However, what I can do, and hopefully also achieve, 
is to re-invent myself on a daily basis and thereby continue with what I have been doing, creating new permutations with that which I have accumulated, in a fresh and original way.'

TOUCH


'COSMORGANIC:ODYSSEY'
 
'Touch is love, 

love is worship, 

worship is passion, 

and passion creates the energy we call life.

That which is not noticed and touched, 

withers away and dies.'
