My Anti-Artist Statement

This is an anti-artist statement, also known as a statement against the current art-world conventions. True artists would not seal themselves off to merely one subject matter, type, or way of creating art. I may primarily be a photographer, but that is not all I do, nor is it all that I want to do. My interests change as I develop. So, although I may explore my own personal issues and use art as therapeutic means for one project that does not mean that I will not explore social or scientific issues for my next project.

These laws box artists in, which only wounds our creative process. I am not against presenting information about artists and their works. But that is something that should be done with each show or even each piece, if needed. I will not classify myself and my art style because I cannot. I refuse definition.
