Artist's statements? We gottem!

Colen teeters dangerously between the galleried perils of finesse and the
incomprehensibility of a/Art qua exhibit. In 'qualifying' his pretentions
publically he adopts a position of semi-jocular modesty, using his
declaration as a Renaissance / re-birthing of the fig-leaf, which denies the
both the upright and the moist, replacing them with the sweat / brow / pain
symbology of the plough, the furrow, and all they entail.
