art.  the shareable product of filtering the world through oneself with the aim of inspiring awe.  

 

artist.  1.  one who recognizes that he lives within infinitely many possibilities and yet chooses to make new choices in the face of this, allowing him to                   create something individual and finite.  

           2.  one who sifts through the material and spiritual world, hoping to lay hold of its primal elements.

 

visual artist.  one who learns about the world’s nature and materials by playing with them, rather than naming and categorizing them as is done in                                   science.  

 

sculptor.  one who plays with physicality, form, and time, attempting to make sense of the elements and boundaries that he has found himself born into.

 

sculpture.  an immobile morsel of space and time left behind by one who finds himself forever propelled into a mobile future.

 

human.  an artist whose medium is life.

This was the result of an assignment from my Sculpture II course with Prof. Carol Keller my senior year at Amherst College.
