The dynamic element in my philosophy, taken as a whole, can be seen as an obstinate and untiring battle against the spirit of abstraction.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not an abstractionist completely.
My characters tend to be more dynamic because they're reaching that point in their lives where their old way of being is breaking down. They're conflicted by the idea that they don't know what's next. You could call it Kierkegaard's leap of faith, when you get tired of sort of reinventing yourself on a very superficial level.
The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the disenchantment of the world.
To say it another way, thinking, however abstract, originates in an embodied subjectivity, at once overdetermined and permeable to contingent events.
Abstraction is one of the greatest visionary tools ever invented by human beings to imagine, decipher, and depict the world.
I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.
It is often my nature to be abstract, hidden in plain sight, or nowhere at all.
It's just that if you're not disruptive everything seems to be repeated endlessly - not so much the good things but the bland things - the ordinary things - the weaker things get repeated- the stronger things get suppressed and held down and hidden.
Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature.
Abstraction brings the world into more complex, variable relations; it can extract beauty, alternative topographies, ugliness, and intense actualities from seeming nothingness.
