What is in an Artist statement? Its my statement, its about my work... right? So why is it so hard? I have tried many times to just sit down and write this statement. I know what I do, and I know what I like, but how do I put it into words? I am generally good at writing, but when it comes to writing about my work, I am absolutely stuck! How do artists do it? Where do you find the inspiration to write about your own work and find the guidance to know what to say? I need the answers to those questions to move forward with what I want to do.
Perhaps I should just collect all of the parts of statements I have started writing and see if there is anything there... until then, I guess I will just use a placeholder for my statement. Time to drag out the Latin generator (I bet someone I know will try to translate it).
Most likely! :-P
