Artists statement
I see this as a chance for you to think about what is central to your vision or voice as an artist and to explore how to put it in writing. And here is my overarching question for you: in the best of all possible worlds, what kind of statement would you like to write about your work? In other words, I would like you to see this as an opportunity to write a general statement about your art.
Some questions you might consider:
- What tone would you like it to have? Conversational? Philosophical? Or ?
- What style would suit you best? Simple? Ornate? Or ?
- What form should it take? A straightforward matter of fact statement about your work? A narrative about how or why you became and are the artist you are? Or some other form I am not mentioning?
- What dimension of your evolution would you want to emphasize? Would you want to speculate on where the work is headed as well as its current state?
I see my role, in reacting to what you write, to be that of an editor. My view on this: an editor is there to perceive/intuit what you are aiming for with what you write and to comment on how your statement has fulfilled it and perhaps hasnt.
