The paper, canvas, fabric– whatever media the artist chooses to focus on, becomes the energy reader. Knowing or unknowingly, the artist is capturing energy– let it be emotional, observational, global or by the forces that be, it is transferred into the piece contained and ready for reading. Just as Mechanical Mechanisms that exist within our society read the frequencies of our existence, the paper or canvas is the litmus paper.

People identify, don’t identify or want to identify with art. Consciously or subconsciously, they are reading energy. How much? What kind? The energy is in the work to be shared and expressed. Everything or nothing. The artist could talk about color or concept or feeling, but what people are truly engaging is the energy of the work. The strength behind work and its beginnings is energy.

Our time is moving fast, everything is changing at rapid speeds. The emotional read of the universe is off off the charts. Our culture is not defined, our leaders are lacking, our time is now.
