Statement

Glass Block. The glass block is my visual metaphor for the veil of lies. The veil of collectively agreed upon premises that blind each of us in our own regionalism and nationalism to greater universal truths. These collectively agreed upon premises about right and wrong etc., can blind us and bind us to ideas about what is real. And in doing so, form our individual constructs out of which our reality is shaped. All of which can easily be based on self serving half truths from the individual perspective all the way up to the regional and national consciousness.

The veil that blinds us. The veil that deceives us. The veil that conceals the truth. I will paint it all for you. I will paint for you beauty... I will paint for you the horrors of this world... I will paint for you all I see though my walls of glass. And we shall see if anyone shall take note or time enough to notice, "to see what lies beyond"... And in doing so, see the lie that reveals the truth.

"A true work of Art is a small fragment from the eternal stream of the Creative Spirit which springs forth into existence through the persistence and focused thought of the Artist." "Art is the lie that unveils the truth, revealing it, making it more clear, and gives truth it's substance. Robert James Kelly
