Can't get away from it! Whatever the work (representational or abstract) an artist creates the piece rooted in a sense of place. Mine is Northren California: its history and golden beauty. Such a footing makes a work accountable; it compels it to become something more than a private notion.
But, then, even the assurance of 'a sense of place' requires its own grounding: a rooting in something greater than itself. What is that? In the end, the best art if more than the artist's talent or private imaginations. This is, hopefully, the vision that goes into any piece of mine.
