| Substratum Surveying prominent art critics and historians, most have hedged that art is whatever an artist claims it is. Should we be beguiled by such vapid responses, or rather seek a more substantive answer? Peter London, in No More Secondhand Art, says, "The things we make are signs of the things we are, seismographs of our internal state...". I believe this. What lies beneath the surface, "the characterless substance that supports attributes of reality," the substratum, is an apt metaphor for art. Art, whatever its form, remains respectful of life. These offerings, passed through my sensibilities, may or may not coincide with your aesthetic, but they were made with serious intent, not as commodities, but as ideas from the substratum. Some were inspired by biological forms, others by temporal processes. All are informed by the inevitability of change. |
