WORD:
www.profpiper.blogspot.com
ART: All art is abstraction; by nature it lies, but it can also ennoble. It abstracts from reality and dwells in illusion, but it can also transform and transfigure. I favor the use of some recognizable figure to ground my art and myself, but I look to it not as mere representation of the world but as its bearer.
Notwithstanding present anxiety, fear and desperation, I reject the exploitation of hopelessness. I seek, rather, in art as in life, beauty, love, freedom and truth.
