ARTIST STATEMENT

The Genius of the Crowd

there is enough treachery, hatred, violence, absurdity in the average human being to supply any given army on any given day

and the best at murder are those that preach against it

and the best at hate are those that preach love

and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

those who preach god, need god

they are nothing alone

beware the average man the average woman

beware their love, their love is average

seeks average

but their is genius in their hatred

there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you

to kill anybody

not wanting solitude

not understanding solitude

they will attempt to destroy anything

that differs from their own

not being able to create art

they will not understand art

they will consider their failure as creators

only as a failure of the world

not being able to love fully

they will believe your love incomplete

and then they will hate you

and their hatred will be perfect

like a shining diamond

like a knife

like a mountain

like hemlock

their finest art
