Numerous artists maintain that once an artwork departs from the artist’s studio, the artist’s dominion over it is relinquished. The artist’s bond either assumes a distanced form or morphs into a new connection, commencing between the viewer and the artwork. During the act of creation in the studio, reality undergoes a transformation into a living occurrence, as the artist enters an alternate realm of consciousness. This is a domain where the creator interlaces with alternative metaphysical dimensions, permitting internal emotions and memories to be conjured and then conveyed through the artistic medium onto the canvas. A dance of sorts transpires as primal energies meld to generate a force propelling the artist through the creative process. Much like the visceral engagement accompanying activities such as dancing to music or cooking, intuitive sentiments and responses guide the endeavor. This profound encounter is often shared among artists, serving as a consoling connection over the intricate interplay of technique and process. It’s important that the artist’s studio practice primarily functions to contextualize and illuminate the work for the viewer, although an independent connection —distinct from the artist’s connection—exist for the between the viewer and the artwork once it occupies a space of observation.
