el·lip·sis

1. The omission from speech or writing of a word or words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues.

2. A set of dots indicating an ellipsis.

We live in a world obsessed with immediacy.  Obsessed with instant gratification and brief fleeting encounters with profundity.

I used to suffer from the anxiety of longing to meet these new aggressive approaches to our consciousness.  Producing and consuming at rates that would not allow for deep meaningful experience.

It’s possible we want to truly make the most of our time here, I believe there were altruistic intentions when we first embarked on this new sense of urgency, though it is evident now, our efforts have been counterproductive.  We spend the vast majority of our time witnessing life and very little if any time experiencing it.  There is no time for digestion, contemplation or comprehension.

I turned to religion; ART

I have heard the ways to make the algorithms love us.  How to be seen and heard by the masses. This felt unlike what I wanted.  I think as we go looking for beauty (or anything for that matter), it is easy to overlook the things we already have.  I thought of the way we continually move our goals around to meet our insatiable desire for external satisfactions and realized I will look internally.

Art will manifest for everyone individually so I need not spoon feed anyone with overly complicated and meticulous definitions of my intentions with my expressions.  There should be some room for our individual interpretations according to our experiences.  Small parts and parcels of a supreme creator, understanding the importance of free will.  So, we omit, from our work, the superfluous and elude to our intentions with contextual clues.
