As an art student and then as a professional artist, I have come to realize that art is more than translucent interfaces, more than a curated statement on a sterile wall, and certainly more than the surface images that we are constantly force fed. Creativity needs to break down the boundaries set up by morality, the elitist definition of aesthetics and it must indulge in its ability to speak, record and portray the voice of humanity. It almost seems banal to restrict such language to condensed distraction for society. Society will always rejuvenate itself; rules will always meander through loopholes and with that inevitable change, art will record and set the new standards.
Artwork by Ninerevolutions: The human character needs to learn to be more pliable if it wants to survive. However, survival alone is a mundane existence; we are propelled by the sensual, unreachable feat of immortality. With that urge to overcome death, we create, we build and we redesign until there is nothing left to take away. I respect my identity because it is ever changing. My work evokes my experience, each panel, each stroke, colour and line tells a story, a nuance, a history true to my recollections but open to interpretation. I trust the fluidity of gender, the common ground in biology, the investigative nature of the mind and more importantly art that taints all branches of the population.
