I sat on the model stand inspecting the scratches on my glasses. I was brushing my teeth and when I found a bug crawling on the floor I held it to the mirror to watch as it cleaned itself. I thought of a Rembrandt painting. I thought of Metamorphosis. A day later I had a vision of a painting, which, like a dream, I interpreted as dealing with issues of Identity and Transience in terms of dependency and Instrumental Things. In this vision environmental degradation is an allegory for an individual’s deterioration. Mass Consumption is the result of an individual’s fear of emptiness. Emptiness is not a lacking of potential but a state of being open. Anxiety comes about when an individual void of a grand narrative, in a state of multiplicity, fears that they will die before proving for himself as much as others that potential had existed all along in that state of emptiness. Proof is Substance, It is either Beautiful, Grotesque or Utilitarian. Maybe now I can give my vision substance.
