Can Creativity Change The World?

Can creativity change the world? 🌎

I believe so and Im sure the artist whose work is in this exhibition in nyc inside Moynihan hall in Penn Station would agree.

A while ago I lived inside this little farmhouse. Something about the pureness and Rural feel took me back there. A simpler time.

I think it is the hand. They are notoriously hard to draw or paint. It is so realistic that I didn’t notice it and instead the piece just vibes with me. Beautiful hand. Beautiful Art. Amazing details. Yea…if art can fill ones heart with peace ✌🏾 and help us to empathize ❤️ with one another, it can certainly change the world

I'm interested in the way a physical piece of art functions in today's world as a simple but powerful communication tool.

Sometimes it's just a simple grounding- a hand holding oranges, and yet the world-wide reach still exists because when someone stands right here in front of this work, the viewer and the artist get to communicate. Right here. Right now.

Art behaves as a radical conduit and connector in this way.

This notebook has been taken apart and put back together with different materials- the paper replaced with canvas; the neat stitching replaced with bulky blue thread. It's an exploration or exercise on how sometimes the only way to shift our understanding or enact change, is to first deconstruct what is in front of us, so that it can be put back together in a new way.

Have you ever experienced a flow state that lasted weeks or more? A few years ago I created a challenge for myself as I was learning how to produce. This track was created on the thirteenth day of a challenge I would later title, “THE DAY SERIES“

This piece was one of my favorites for sure!

What is creativity? The ability to see what isntactually there. To be able to conjure up a Physical representation of an abstract thought.

My stetchbook starts with an exploration of impressionistic owls awash in color and strokes

Whitle realistic in their depiction, the colors are allowed to take over the com position. Halfway through the book, it is literally flipped into a series of character-based owls that inhabit their own colorfall world of fantasy. Both sides are awash in vibrant colors. Owls are the medium colors are the message.
