Take too many Harlequin romances as a teen, throw in a sculpture of a couple about to kiss, mix it up with a generous bit of the love between long-married couples I know, and ice it with a poem about when Buddha and the Goddess met and melded. . .Whaddya get? Another one of those attempts by me to capture that which cannot be captured! Wait a minute, isn't that what every artist is trying to do? Trying to portray life, trying to compress it down to two dimensions or into a note of music? Okay, sculpting gets you another dimension, and life is literally three-dimensional if you think about what we see and touch. But how do you show "life"? How do you make your art live and breath and feel? You can't, I can't, even the great masters couldn't. . .but we can strive toward it, reach for it, get as close as possible AND THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF ART no matter whether it's realistic or abstract, isn't it?
