Have you ever asked yourself the question- "What things could I do if I weren't so afraid?"
I'm watching music videos of Kurt Cobain perform with Nirvana.
Watching how out of control everything seems to be. How uninhibited he is while performing. Truly, he was a great performer. Jumping, writhing in front of the camera and then I think of the totality of his life. Well, it didn't end well to say the least. It's suggested that Kurt was overwhelmed with his instant success. He seemed to just explode. Is this what happens when we open the door and let everything out? Do we just explode and travel to another dimension? Do we hang on to that little piece of ourselves so we don't travel off just yet? Do we sabotage our own success by hanging onto control?
These are just some thoughts running through my head this morning. Getting geared up for the day thinking maybe I can find a new way. A new path to take, a new statement I can make. I am rather a visual person, watching and observing. I compartmentalize what I observe to transform this into a visual piece of work. Of course not every artist works in this fashion. I have this need to understand where I am going with all these pieces that I paint. My God, it took me 20 years to come up with an artist statement-"who am I?". Well, it's something that is just so complex that I can't put it in words. So I am writing this this morning-off the cuff, unabridged version. Just raw naked thoughts. Nothing rehearsed.
I will close off now. If you like this post or you have found yourself having similar thought it would be great to hear from you.
Love to you.
