From the beginning an artist has possession of things that are not entirely known.  In this immature stage of his development he cannot be certain what is his and what is not his.  His progression (maturation) in life and in his artistic exploration allow him to sort out his 'possessions': to return what is not his, to hold onto (or keep on loan) what he thinks or feels may be his, or to remain open to accepting, exchanging, or perhaps even keeping future possessions. For me, this process is a dilemma, which manifests itself in my art work as a conflict between two and three dimensional forms: each individual piece an attempt at integrating both (that is, resolving the conflict) yet, in a sense, also a failure to do so. However, it is the attempt which matters, an act of personal self-discovery.
