These crocuses felt a "whif" of warmth,
a warm breeze mixed with a bit of sun
and decided to experiment,
bursting forth in colorful excitement
after such a long a winter wait!.

Many months ago, I got a "whif" of an idea about my experience of being a suspect for many years. I began "experimenting" with my imagination, trying to picture in my mind what kind of physical images might be a visual that would express the thought, feeling or even some aspect of the reality of that experience.
Now art is not science, but it might be in some respect, in that artist's venture into the unknown, knowing that whatever happens or comes of the experiment will probably not be the real or whole answer. The initial results or in my case actual sculptures might only be just a small beginning of that train of thought. Each piece created, or showing or audience participation, reaction and discussion can or will become a guideline as to where the artist goes from here. New thoughts can inspire new pieces that help round out the idea or take it into new realms that would never otherwise have been reached.
Art is not science, but it is experimental, it is exploitative but may never have a "finished" conclusion that a science experimental can have. We are dealing with human feelings, a moving target as unique as every human is. Not only that, a culture that is also a moving target as unique as every culture, nation and individual is.
That is way it is exciting, inspiring and eternally unlimitedly exhausting in doing unending experiments expressing who we are, what we are and what we long for, in the few centuries of life (in light of eternity) we have to express ourselves adequately!
You are invited to come, see the results and be part of the next steps in experimentation. (See "Art Shows" page for details.)
