Artist Statement
No creator, only creating; no composer, only composing. Alexander is constantly looking at water and stone, contemplating that they are both alive and changing with their own self-ness. There is more and more distance from feeling that he (I) is in control of the creative process. Instead, he lets water (which is him too) guide the process, he interacts with the water.
There is no “nature” or “outside world”. There is only him (me). There is only each of us. It is all a part of him. So he & the water & the materials play, knowing the painting has to exist and it always will exist, just like every thought, just like everything.
