Statement :
Do I perceive myself as disabled?
"Who cares, thats the point!"
I do! And I don't at all feel I'm disabled,. Not
if you direct your positive energies at fluent dreams. Degree's of difficulties,
not impossibilities. Nothing is impossible, just changeable. It's more,
"Am I a benefit?" than able to me attitude. Show yourself you"ll
try, then you"ll have inbuilt advice. Experience your own limits, to
find the open spread of new Ideas.
"Look in thy, for life of mine".
"Apparent Affliction"
Light is the nessesity to penetrate ones soul,
to eradicate the dark density of anguish. Confused mannerisms is the object
of this portraiture, a deep inner scar of physical limitations those granted
sometimes forget. A one eyed view held tight not wanting to listen anymore,
the depth of hurt and ignorance.
Description of meaning :
This piece is comprised of xray images of a pelvis,
kidney, two necks two spines, a hand and a negative of me. The glue in the
image was used as a visual delusion, like that we sometimes live from, like
risks or ignorance. The fluid (glue) also shows the substance that floats
in our views and brains that sometimes can give us "apparent affliction". |
