Mike Blaha Personal Statement

The act of making art is a bit mysterious to me, so writing about it is like describing the flavor of a strawberry to someone who has never tasted one. An appealing and very basic notion is that art is simply to be looked at and if it creates a rare moment of suspended judgement in a day of continual calculations, all the better. The mystery associated with the act of creating keeps me interested in manipulating colors and shapes that at times makes me feel like I am participating in an event more rarified and greater than myself.

Is art rehearsal

for the nirvanic

cream dream

scumbling

like the moth

in water flailing

concentric reminders

of a brutal
