"Changing how we "see" can change how we live."

An Artist's Manifesto

"An Artist's Manifesto" is a statement written by the artist about art making. It takes the form of a booklet containing 33 black and white drawings with accompanying text. It contains observations upon what might be seen as the purpose of creativity and it presents ideas commenting upon experiences that have been part of his journey. 

Extract from "An Artists Manifesto"......

 

32. Against all tyrannies.

 

All lies are ruined edifices.

The search for Her Truth is the goal.

To describe what we have not yet seen,

to outline what hardly appears there,

to visualise endless potential

hidden by the excessive control

burdened upon us by unimaginative minds.

To be against everything that props that up.

To repel every projectile 

that is flung from the citadel

of the unreal.
