Here I wish in part for the audience to imagine the time that surrounds this moment. To playfully imagine masterful dance that is about to come and the potential for anything to happen. No expectation. No rules. Countless times I’ve become so constrained by technique or attachment to particular outcomes that I forget some of the most meaningful art comes through spontaneous freedom of the hand and mind. When it doesn’t matter what others think or even what I think of the outcome and I just paint. Like a warrior. Allowing myself to be unafraid. That’s when the good stuff happens. I also wish for this moment itself to be felt. The stillness coupled with anticipation of absolute creative freedom. – Craig Martin, Artist
