Determining Direction Through Artist Statements

Working on our artist statements can be illuminating in terms of determining creative direction.

A novel approach to this is to write about our work as if it belonged to someone else. What threads become evident? Is there a colour or subject that crops up over & over? A mark or gesture that keeps repeating itself? A certain positioning of elements within the frame? An unusual signature medium? 

What are the surprises?
