-ABOUT THE ARTIST & THE WORK-
“In simplest terms, most often, I am often giving shape to stories. They aren’t necessarily my own, nor are they reflections of me. Rather, they present to me as entities to which I may give tangible shape. The intricacies of the translation will manifest differently with the variation in observer perceptions, but the goal for this artist in these situations is often to present the ‘shape’ of each entity’s ‘Being’ as it is revealed to me. One could compare this process to “plastic automatism” in its improvisatory nature.
“Moreover and cumulatively, my work fluctuates between abstract expressionism – as seen in many of these aforementioned ‘translations’ where there is no definite coherent structure or message, but rather, a ‘portrait’ of a story that is largely open to interpretation – and surrealism, in select works, whereby a message may be very clear, and is presented with deliberate intent.
“Additional works (from my personal collection, not for sale or distribution) are showcased at JDSandy.com.”
All collages come pre-framed in 8.5x11 glass face and plastic document-style frame – simplistic, sturdy, and minimalistic to showcase the art itself.
“there’s no clarity.
there was never meant to be any clarity”
