Artist's Statement -Verbal summarization of an artist's work may introduce a relevant picture, but should not be viewed as the ultimate basis upon which one can rely. It cannot convey the inner factors involved in the creative process in its entirety, which may be known through a particular experience only. Marcel Duchamp has eloquently pointed out �…art history has consistently decided upon the virtues of a work of art through considerations completely divorced from the rationalized explanations of the artist“. I create the way I feel.
