My World Collides With Fire And Heat
When my artwork collides with gunpowder and fuse I have conflict.
The explosion collides with my vision.
Duty collides with fear.
Love collides with guilt.
Ambition collides with my conscience.
I stand by a blank canvas and I am wracked by indecision.
Fears.
Misgivings.
Doubts.
Second thoughts.
Should I light the fuse?
I'm pathetic.
I'm looking for some strength, vigor, and color. Something powerful but with empathy.
I want my art to have time, color, texture, density and sense of motion.
This is not static.
I light the fuse.
My world collides with the fire and heat.
BOOM!
