The Artist is a creator, a transformer, and an enlightener.

The Artist creates the new - now

The Artist transforms the basics, the essential raw material into an “enlightened” quality of being

The Artists strongest tool is in” The Allowing” of the freedom of expression of this quality of being - to allow the “enlightened” element of this quality to manifest and express itself

The Artist dares (allows) to meet and move into the raw material and be with it, as it is, in its essential beauty (Form)

This meeting is an empathy, a recognition, an awareness, which shapes and inspires both artist and form naturally towards their unique expression. And thus sets “the enlightened” free to manifest.

The Artist creates the new, transforms the old, and enlightens both.”

James Findlay,candle artist
