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
cleaner
past
