Artist Statement – David Vigon
Art
is a metaphor for life. Both begin as
nothing-- the point before the "big bang" and the realm of complete
nothingness or everythingness -- the realm of infinite possibility. The infinite artist gives us the infant human
being as an empty vessel, and the human artist constructs the blank canvas.
Both
forms are like mini universes unto themselves.
Their physical forms conscribe set limits of space and time. Yet within these boundaries, the realm of
infinite possibility is still in full force.
With
each breath or stroke of the brush, choices are made, whether conscious or
unconscious which irreversibly fill the vessel or canvas until it is
transformed into the feeling of an experience before being recycled.
