I guess I identify with American Buffalo because my Senior art show at Concordia University was titled ‘Buffalo wings’ A buffalo with wings might be like a bull in a china shop. What do these heavy metaphors have to do with me and my work? I hope it is boldness. The American bison is such a tank of a beast that in some ways it looks and moves clumsily, yet it something that no other animal has quite as much of- momentum You know when and where a buffalo roams. They make an impact You may not think they’re quite as pretty as a deer, but by God, nothing stops them!
So why is it so hard to imagine one in flight? Why should only light, dainty things gate chance to wander through the heavens?
I am a firm believer in democratic art, the kind of Art in which anyone can partake, whether your style is like a gossamer wing or like a chicken wing smothered in hot sauce with a side of blue cheese dressing and celery.
