Creativity: dialogue and journey

I hope to have outlined some of the problems that contemporary art struggles with in a postmodern society, as it seeks to tackle themes of spirituality and faith. I've spoken about the ways in which I aim to produce an image, how a piece of paper which in one sense is only a surface, can nevertheless carry a depth of meaning. I have touched briefly on how an abstract image can convey a definite intent.

All this happens through a conversation with the artist and the work, then between the work and the viewer, within a process that is ultimately held by God.

The process that I see happening in communicating faith through contemporary art is not dogmatic, institutional, or necessarily narrative in form, but transpersonal, creative, and open to multiple interpretations.

In this rich and continuing conversation, God works with human creativity, to draw us beyond ourselves, into the shared understandings and visions of faith.
This is an unendingly fruitful journey, and one which, as an artist, I find constantly challenging and refreshing.
