I had an art installation up recently for my final. This was the artists statement:
Change is a pursuing phenomenon. There is no chance that a person may escape it’s power. Through life anyone can see it’s effects, great and small.
A common follower of Change is Pain,
whether grieving what once was, or enduring a painfully new situation.
Change at times pushes in unwanted, then drags it’s victim behind. In a strange irony, however, it also bears good in the pain, as if dragging people unwillingly into a secret garden.
This is the cause of what many people would call “bitter-sweet” memories. Bitter in the pain that Change has caused, but sweet in it’s final achievement; often being growth.
The effects of Change must also be addressed. Left alone they become stale and painful. Change desires attention.
When given full attention Pain often leaves meekly letting Change take the glory for resulting growth.
Growth is a great blessing in life.

i'm so glad i got to see your final art project. thanks for posting that....
we did art for worship at my lifegroup the other night and i thought of you
i dont' know how i suddenly have an identity here. but i will use it for it allows me to comment.
i am very glad you posted this. for i realized i did not even take time to read it while i had the chance, and found myself regretting it. but now that has been fixed.
that's perfect because I dowloaded "empty" and have been intrigued and wanted to talk to you more about it... and i felt bad that I didn't remember much that you wrote in the artist statement.
you're amazing.
