A M McCarty: Art comes from a place beyond other worldly reach. It controls, contorts, manipulates and when it is done, no one is the same. We are transported there through the images. Wild, calm, reverent, irreverent, it matters not. All that matters is the journey. Things seen, yet unseen, unfold under the artists hand and before the viewers’ eyes. Both are enriched by the experience. Where does this force come from and where does it lead us, we don’t know. All we know is we must follow its’ beck and call. This is a call to the artist to express what needs expression. A color, a glance, a line, a form, all has its’ place in art. Personal, yet universal, understood, yet mystifying, this is art.
