Deviousness Award
Where to begin with the reasons for selecting `sphilr for this month's deviousness award. How about with his passion for all things art. If you want to see someone who lives and breathes the concept, you don't have to look any further. He has spent his entire life honing his unique and easily identifiable style. You can look at what he does and just get that sense that he is the type of person who wakes up needing to create something. His journals reflect that passion as well. Additionally they provide a bit more insight to the soul of this individual. Showing a compassionate and giving nature which can then be further glimpsed through his positive and supportive commentary.
`sphilr is the real thing and we are proud to add him as a recipient for deviousness this July!-awarded July 2007
Belonging
 Therefore, what decides whether I belong is not where I am, but what I do. A home is temporary, indefinite. Belonging is not a preordained condition that a person does not have control over; a person decides whether she belongs through her actions. What someone does leaves a mark on her entire existence - it defines who she is, it decides where she is going. It determines whether she belongs. And now as I stand waiting for the taxi driver to load our luggage into the trunk, it hits me. The momentous and comforting outcome of this introspection hits me with a force more powerful than the smell of India: no matter where I am, I will always belong. © Natalie D'Silva, 05/19/1991 (reprinted by permission of the author.) |
A little bird told me
 Inspiration is a mercurial thing. It's that sudden quickening that ties the loose ends of the individual psyche into a Gordian knot of (hopefully) beauty. In that small universe, even the most surreal of images feels perfectly natural to the creator. Unfortunately, the obsessive tunnel vision needed to accomplish this leaves one mentally at a disadvantage when it comes to explaining a particular piece to a public that is equally ill equipped to understand it. I am speaking of pieces not conceived for any particular audience, but rather are created as a necessity for the psychological well-being of the creator. Paintings deliberately aimed at a specific group are a whole other matter. Inspiration is rather like the butterfly collector chasing a butterfly. Once you see it, you are intent on the pursuit of it, not noticing the ground as you run, or the people you may pass, or the cloud formations in the sky at the time. Later, when you're asked to retrace your steps... it's a nearly impossible task. Your intent was to catch it, to capture the elusive thing that's beyond your "normal" experience. The lust for the eternally beautiful & exotic... this is the heart of the matter. We defy those ponderous twins of decay and death, temporarily, at least. The eternal in us longs for eternity, therefore we create with a purity of intent, and with no purpose in mind other than a righteous defiance of the elements that are slowly and methodically consuming us.. A while back I had an experience that kind of illustrates the nature of inspiration... I was sitting in my car in a shopping center parking lot, waiting for someone. Suddenly, a small bird (I think it was a Wren) flew through the open window and landed on my knee. An instant later it had flown away. I think we were both surprised. The bird most likely mistook blue jeans for an oasis. I was expecting nothing - and got a bird in my lap. Inspiration... Moral of the story? What one perceives as water may actually be denim  © Danny Malboeuf, Thu Aug 10, 2006 (reprinted by permission of the author) |
