Hi Neil, it's like arriving at a fork in the road and truly figuring out the path one is "truly" supposed to take. Sounds easy, but it can be quite a challenge with many voices offering their opinions. At some point in age, that path is well delineated for the seeker.
Truly curious about your work - from the first time I came upon them. Such insight - and yes I think many of these I have a propensity for - they are images from my earliest memories in Brooklyn. The people, the subways, the river, the Brooklyn Bridge. Then back. You teach, yes?
Hi Patris, I appreciate the curiosity you have and vocalize. You’re pointing out your propensities as a viewer is such an important art of everyone’s artwork as that’s what drives the communication between the artist and viewer. You like what you like. They produce what they like, and it all culminates in a conversation surrounding it.
As for teaching, I haven’t done it as a teacher—I did it for ten+ years as a pro camera salesperson.
Yes, propensities are much more than style. I like the idea of people finding dharma, the path to which they were predisposed.
