WistfulHorizons
is how I remember to be in the moment and to feel a sense of harmony while being creative and spontaneous in the present, rather then feeling wistful about the horizons that can be.
This is a place for me to show you the outcomes of this process.
My name is Sam
From the age of 15, I started to spend a lot of my time creating art. I used art to channel my negative energy, especially my anger with society: the environmental destruction and the feeling that I was expected to conform and participate in a society that is destructive. The process of making art harnessed my anger and frustration, eventually transforming these emotions into something that was exciting and positive for me and now I feel happy to show others too.
Then and now I use my imagination in a spontaneous, meditative way, slowly changing the process over time, In this way my work is always inspiring for me and evolving. Every so often my work shifts into a new direction by changing my perceptions of things,in a way my imagination, creativity and consciousness flows and expands, speaking to me and creating new meaning over time.
By exploring the world and having things to ponder and process from my experiences I am able to create unique pieces. In a way I’m still thinking about my life while creating, so the creation process is almost automatic, and in a way is similar to dreams emerging.
The human form and nature have always been in my work. They often flow through one another creating surprising imagery, feelings and thoughts.
My work may seem dark but it just flows through me, creating a peaceful state of mind within.
This process also helps me to accept what appears.
I appreciate finding out how people respond differently to my art. In the past I have created many artworks but the process has been quite insular and I now want to expand this to explore at a deeper level connections with people and with my outside world.
