A Little Switcheroo (An Essay)

in , , , ,

As of late, I’ve been floating further away from form.

And last night it became clear that the platform / vehicle through which I was intending to showcase my upcoming collection, was no longer a fit.

Any sense of restriction,

containment,

management,

anything based on time…

any reliance on another or a thing in any way…

feels too dense / too heavy / too cluttered for me.

I need things as light and seamless and Mandy as can be.

And…

I’ve created so much art and beauty this year.

So much went on behind the scenes.

So much that’s been waiting for the perfect home.

I can’t wait to bring you up to speed.

Bringing A Piece To Life (An Essay)

in , ,

If it was alive in its creation,

that energy carries through the perception of time.

There is no expiration date on a work of art that pulses with the essence of its creator in their most raw and potent state.

Juxtapose this to a piece that’s created for anything other than the impulse and necessity of being true.

The piece falls flat.

It’s energetically dead.

And no amount of ‘time’ will bring that piece to life.

Because the energy it’s created with is the energy that remains with it (until it’s infused with something new, something true).

Which is why a piece from long ago can touch each new generation with the same intensity as the one before.

It isn’t just the sounds.

The visuals.

The words.

The hype.

It’s the energy it was sourced from, that carries it along, as if no time had passed at all.

When something is alive, you feel it.

And when it’s not, you don’t.
