Interview with:Jerry Schwehm [jkschwehm]
ART
 | What do you do? How do you define yourself as an artist? I'm creative. I work with any and all media to make art. I assemble wood and metal, paint, do graphic art, write. As long as I create I feel I have accomplished something. Each venture is a learning experience, how do things fit together to become an art object. I do not define what I do, I just do. My art is me growing and doing. I change as the art needs me to change. |
| What is your message? Nothing, each person brings to art what experience they have, what emotion it evokes in them. I cannot dictate to a viewer what they should or will feel when viewing my art. I guess an emotion is what is strived for, good, bad, ugly, beautiful, anything the viewer feels is my message. |
| Your biography in four lines. Born and raised in New Orleans surrounded by old beauty and great music. I hope that shows in my art. A friend once wrote this bio for me- http://www.figstreet.com/studio/biography.html |
| Do you upload your work to the web? If so, where could we see it? I am all over the web in many places, begin at http://www.figstreet.com/studio |
| When do you get your best ideas? Early in the morning after a good nights sleep. |
| How do you evaluate whether an idea is good or not? I try not to be too selective. I have created things I thought were junk, yet another thinks it is wonderful. Art is subjective and I at times do not see what others do. |
| Does it pain you to let go of a piece you have sold? I view my art as children and when they leave me I hurt. Some I cannot let go at all. |
