The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few
originals and many copies.

Somewhere Before
“The
most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental
emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.”
― Albert Einstein, The World As I See It

“I
am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom
feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that
only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into
something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in
intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way
or another. No more walls.”
― Anaïs Nin

“If
you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am
here to live out loud.”
― Émile Zola

“Life
doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.”

takes courage. ”

Chemistry
- Art goes on in your head. If you said something interesting,
that might be a title for a work of art and I'd write it down. Art comes
from everywhere. It's your response to your surroundings. There are
on-going ideas I've been working out for years, like how to make a rainbow
in a gallery. I've always got a massive list of titles, of ideas for
shows, and of works without titles.
