Artist’s Statement

Those silly Artist’s Statement that accompany artwork, usually hanging in a coffee shop?

First off, with rare exceptions, coffee shops are now a single chain or two that promulgates the refined essence of a mid-century modern coffee shop as a meeting place, but does seem to stray from the original concept. Chains that bound us together, thusly branded.

The original artist’s statement included the singular idea that this was supposed to be cheap cameras, and ‘cell’ phones have long-since replaced those cameras.

However, as part of the Artist’s Statement, I did suggest minimal, if any, photo manipulation, the post-production Photoshop era notwithstanding.

Think: point and click, spit and post.

As an artistic muscle, the artist muscle, it’s great. The challenge is an image day, and anymore, straight from cell phones. That’s the updated Artist’s Statement.
