Artist's Comments

This piece turned out to be important because I ended up having to defend the concept of subconscious or intuitive imagery choice for 20 minutes in a critique. Basically, in my school, everyone wants a reason for everything. Why is that tree there? What does it stand for? Why is it a square format instead of rectangular? Why are those stars drawn on top instead of being realistically rendered? Why do you use that brand of brushes? Why do you always wear that purple t-shirt? Why is global peace unattainable?

I'll get back to you on that.

Acrylic on canvas
2004

P.S. The title is from a song called "Call Me Call Me" from the series Cowboy Bebop. Fantastic song. Download it. Now.

i always hated people who overanalyzed art. to me, it really sucks the piece dry of any feeling. as your said, 'intuitive imagery choice.' most of the time i don't know why the hell i put that there, it just seemed to add to what i was trying to say with the picture. stupid people...

Definitely. If art can't be felt, it's obsolete. I think people forget that in an artistic educational community. I love being in art school, but you pay a price for it too.

Thank you, I definitely take that as a compliment. It takes good art to move people, not easy to do. And yes there's a lot of feeling in this one. All of the love and awe I have for your brother is wrapped up in this. (And it's okay if my manifestation of these things makes someone cry; love is a complicated thing, yes?) Anyway he's a fantastic guy. But you know that already =)

it's the tendency with most institutions. poetry, for example, can lose most, if not all, of it's feeling because of over-analyzation. i definitely think that learning more about your craft can HELP creativity, but if you take it the wrong way, it can most certainly HINDER it, as well.

Beautiful! You shouldn't have to defend it, it defends itself! ^^

I think it's funny how people have to psychoanalyz art the way they do. Can't they just let it be an enjoy the picture?
