In the never ending circle of art in which you begin a piece, it delvelops, it is finished and is shown. Then a new cycle begins. The work is moved from studio to studio, from show to show and then perhaps final instalation in a buyers residence or a musuem. From year to year, decade to decade and hopefully century to century the work is viewed, inspired, studied by countless art and or art history students. Hopefully my work this past semester will stand the test of time. I know that I will look back on these early pieces and maybe retouch a spot here or there. I know that I will look back on these first efforts and know that I have tried and suceeded in maturing and developing as an artist. It takes time, not just months but years and lots of them. As many strokes with the brush, loaded with ink and placed on the rice paper. A work of art will be completed. Then as many years as there was brush strokes, the time will come when there are twice and then three times as many brush strokes and more, the art becomes known as a masterpiece.
