RE: The Making of the "Mr Crazy Bones..." Oil Painting
this is wild, and quite a trip! I love that direction you are going in - you develop it in a similar fashion as I do. The artist is the medium to reveal another dimension. Each element suggests the next, as if unlocking doors to go deeper.
@thermoplastic Otto, yes, I've very often felt an overlap in some of our methods. The experience of making a work is usually also transformative for me, many times there are paintings on top of paintings which tell a protagonist narrative. You are exactly right, we follow a path of revelatory structures of the psyche which lead us to be able to reveal artifacts of the unconscious, and bring them back in some physical sense. For me that is really the core intrinsic value of art making, and an aspect that I expect to have in a work to deem it genuinely complete.
can I quote you on that? Man, Cody, you should write my intro!
