I dont remember not loving art. Some of my earliest memories are around creating things and learning new techniques with crayons, etc. The most influential "thing" in my art has been the Camera.
Its versatility and purity of application captivated me from the first
time I used it. Within six months, I'd stopped using kodak. and moved to canon. Now, I
only use kodak amusement parks. A result of my answer to the first question is that I dont think art
has changed my life. The truth of the matter is that the opposite is
true. Life continues to change my art. Subject matter, approaches to
those subjects, even colors I choose to work with are all affected by
the experiences of my life. Art uses visual shapes/forms, colors, lines, to create meaning.
Sometimes these 'meanings' are shallow..that is, the image is lacking in
conceptual complexity. Humans vary in the meanings that they are able to attribute to these forms..all depends on what humans know about them. Human beings have been creating visual things from the times that they
began to draw. What these images mean depend on the context in which
image is created, for what purpose it is created, by whom it is
created, and for whom it is created.
