“Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living organism when it is subjected to stimuli too intense or too complicated to cope with. The cure for apathy is comprehension.”
trying to understand is the foothold out of the abyss.
those outlines of my internal conflicts are only slightly transparent, the issue–my issue, the thing that releases the shutter–is less and less defined by the shape of shadows and more so by the fine, fine edges of something luminous. something at odds with human waste and the mark it leaves behind.
where that mark is left, well that is part of my something luminous.
how will i present this, visually?
words come easy, but the mental pixels? well, they’re a bit out of focus. still.

- visual apathy
at the close of the semester, after feedback from h, this is where i find myself–or perhaps i was here all along but only just realized it after examining the lack of cohesion in my portfolio coupled with the diversity of its subject matter.
i’m looking. always looking. but my attention span, my interest in any given subject, falters after so many shutter releases. see, it’s all been done before. and innovation, uniquity, well that’s what we’re all after. isn’t it? us self-proclaimed artists, anyway.
accordingly, inevitably, and unavoidably i’ve entered a state of visual apathy. in realizing this, i’ve stumbled across a project idea: Visual Apathy
i intend to define it visually.
my regards, h, for all the inspiration.
