The Arts are an Expression
of Experience.
Art expands the space of
what can be perceived, thought, or felt."Art is necessary to enable people to recognize the world
and to transform it.” — Ernst Fischer“The mind is unlike any other artistic material. It is living, adaptive, and endlessly creating itself. A work of art is never complete until it enters the mind. This is where art exists—not on the wall, but in perception.The painting, the sculpture, the dance, and the song are the catalyst. The artwork unfolds in consciousness, where memory, emotion, and imagination transform into experience.The artist cannot dictate what another person sees.
Meaning is neither fixed nor transferred. It is generated in the encounter between the work and the viewer. Every mind realizes the work differently.Art is the expansion of possibility within consciousness."-- Yvonne Claire

“Degustation of art
A designed experience—
Appreciated by the senses, little by little.
Emulsion.
Light to rich, simple to complex.
Careful reduction, infusion—
Layered with complexity,
The embellishments, compositions on canvas
Palatable aesthetics—
Not all at once, bit by bit.”Inspired by the experience of a multi-course meal, Shared Table presents a collection of individual tiles as a series of small, distinct encounters: Love like carefully prepared plates offered over the course of a shared (dining) experience, each piece reveals its own character while contributing to a the larger portion.Careful arrangements of your choosing, art served a variety of ways.
