DiPietro, John, artist2024-04-302024-04-302024https://hdl.handle.net/10217/238193Colorado State University Art and Art History Department capstone project.Capstone contains the artist's statement, a list of works, and images of works.The artist's statement: Ive noticed inconsistency with what many artists say they are doing and what they actually do. I try not to define what I do so that it won't change what I am doing. Ive done a lot of things I hate and I've always come back to art. I had an opportunity to go to school after leaving the military and now Im writing this statement. I think life is really novelty and complex. I think about the end every day. The world around me is growing more absurd by the minute. Questions like why are we here and why is it the way it is are always on my mind. I often feel like I am fighting a war in my head. What am I doing? Killing time? Spending money and acquiring material things? Being bad? Being good? All I have is right now, I know that at least, So I try to make art and I hope that someone can relate to it.born digitalStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
