| Artist Statement “The artist should fear to become a slave of detail. He should strive to express his thought and not the surface of it. . . the artist has only to remain true to his dream and. . . must see naught but the vision beyond.” To describe the quest for that vision, Ryder chose an unconventional simile: “Have you ever seen an inch worm crawl up a leaf or twig, and there clinging to the very end, revolve in the air, feeling for something to reach? That’s like me. I am trying to find something out there beyond the place on which I have a footing.” Albert Pinkham Ryder Art, for me, does not provide answers but rather provokes questions and seeks possibilities. There is a degree of remembering, forgetting, and re-remembering that is paramount to the process of creating this work. I interweave a reflection of the past with observation of the present - family, gender roles, loss, hope, place, search for spirituality, and global consciousness. This work addresses aspects of interior space; its physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual connotations. I am interested in the dialogue between the anonymity of the crowd and the alienation of the isolated individual. The process of constructing the work acknowledges memory as a significant ingredient in painting. It allows me to seek clarity of ideas while honoring mystery and ambiguity. Wendell H. Arneson |
