Tapestry by James Stanley Daugherty

Artist Statement

attention > consciousness consciousness > perception perception > reality

Art is a portal into another reality. We can shift our consciousness simply by shifting our attention. Effective art facilitates this. It is simply a matter of where we want to be. Sometimes art answers questions, more often it asks them. Try this modest experiment. Find five minutes of quiet time. Take a piece of art that you find intriguing, and look at it, just look at it, for five minutes. Don't try to direct your thoughts, just let them wander where they will. Go ahead. Try it, you must have some art around somewhere.

Well, what did you think?

If you came out the same door you came in, maybe you need different art. Change your art: change your life. It's simple. It's cool. It's cultured. It's better than television. Better living through art. Support Digital Art Awareness Week.
