Nick's statement

Much of what we are told and shown is presented as being fully defined. We are told there is little room in our generation for interpretation and critique. I disagree with this. I think our world is constantly changing and no definition is permanent. Art changes endlessly. Its context changes, its meaning gains or loses affect, and its imagery is perceived differently by each and every person. I am an artist because I want to create these images to motivate people. I create videos fueled by my own motivation- to motivate others. This goal shapes my work with emotion and human reason. And I hope with this emotional material I can invite others to think, judge, wonder, and reason for themselves, in a world where we're so rarely told to do so.
