SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT ART
when i embarked upon this long strange trip of
becoming a world famous artist, i was keenly aware that those with financial
resources would be able to reproduce successful ideas at a fraction of my
costs.
in order to put some distance between me and the wolves nipping at
my heels, i had to push the envelope in a manner which made the mass production
of my creations economically unviable. in this i have become more
successful than i imagined but it has become a double edged sword. while i
have no peers in the kinetic art venue, i have not been able to take advantage
of the aforementioned mass production techniques. because of this i have evolved into creating
three production classifications.
- -UNLIMITED-
i will continue to make this
design until you pull my blue hot torch from my cold dead hand. (for those
of you keeping track, i was born in 1954), or until i get bored.
- -LIMITED-
these are sculptures which are
limited to a discrete number of units. these sculptures are subject to
the same restrictions as the unlimited class above with the added one of
number. each sculpture is marked in metal with it's number and the
total number of the run. this allows me to distribute the very substantial cost of
developing a design over a limited number of sculptures bringing the
production costs down from the stratosphere.
- -ONE-OF-A KIND-
as it sounds, sculptures that the muse demanded but which for technical or
practical reasons i decide not to re-create.
in conclusion, i must reiterate that no matter which type of sculpture, it is still li'l ol' me hamerin' it out by myself in my studio.
