Zabriskie Point - Four

Tension & Intensity

The word tension refers intrinsically to a state of tautness, providing for me a metaphorical image of a stretched object: for example a piece of string. If one were to view this state of tautness within this piece of string, one would surely be filled with intensity? Intensity that throws questions at the viewer, such questions as, how much more can it stretch? When will the piece of string snap? Will it snap? It is these questions that are of interest to my work and me. If something as simple as a piece of string can provide a sense of tension and intensity, then can the same be applied to a piece of artwork and it still remains fine art and not entertainment? Or is fine art a form of entertainment?

UPDATE: Sue Ryder Care - Art Liberating Lives Submission

Liaising with the lovely people heading the "Art Liberating Lives" competition has scored me a web presence regarding me and my artwork; my favourite line being "we love Daniel and his work". However a small mistake has been made as I am not as old as they say I am, i'm only 20.


Also I have received an email from the competition informing me that my work has been selected for the second stage of selection. So my work is off to London and my fingers are "firmly crossed" until the 30th of November.
