We See What You're Saying™
Art for art's sake has always been presumptuous, at least presumptuous for me.
At this point in time I’m not an artist, I am a designer by training, trade and practice. Designers transform the ephemeral into the practical, ideas are actuated, wants and needs are made manifest.
An artist creates for themselves without filters, breaks or a destination in mind. They share their particular vision with the rest of us whether we appreciate it or not.
Designers produce for others with goals and a destination predetermined early. While the difference between the two may be fundamental, it isn't a canyon to be leaped but rather a threshold to be stepped crossed.
All but a small few of the 4” x 6” post cards are original to the collection, almost all have been mailed to someone. I’m hopping to gain grace and courage with this experience and move past aspiration, to anticipation, to application, ie. larger.
Always, Joseph
