I have called my art Dynamic Art – what is Dynamic Art?
Art as Potential: The Potential of Art
As a visual artist I take up the pen reluctantly. There are however some general and fundamental issues which I feel called upon to discuss. These centre around ‘seeing’ and ‘experiencing’ contemporary art in a new way, and perhaps placing the arts back into the dynamic role they ought to have.
Art and Craft Interface
What is the essential difference between craft and art? This is not easy. Mankind has had thousands of years when the distinction was more or less irrelevant. As I have posited; every human activity, whether it be tool-making, artistic or ceremonial, is at heart ‘creative’.
Anticipation
Over the years, as I have moved more and more into commissioned work, there has been a subtle shift in my design process. At first there was no great difference between my art works, drawings and paintings, and the sketches. Then slowly and almost imperceptibly my whole focus was changed. In order to retain my freshness and spontaneity I had to somehow ‘withdraw’ from the preparatory work, so that I could give the piece my all at the end.
