I see the world as a piece of art, and people should make it better not worse. But i guess we all can't be mature enough and stop pollution and what-not. So we might as well enjoy what's left of it. You should keep in mind that Art is not a thing; it is a way, Art is long, life is short. As Amy Lowell said "Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in."

Art is an effort to create, beside the real world, a more human world. - Andre Maurois.

James Roper - Paroxysm
“By constructing abstract bodies formed from multiple elements these works mimic the complex bodily structures found within nature. Biological machines such as the human body process and retain energy and any processes placed under restraint will result in an intensification of it’s eventual release. The work attempts to portray this intermediate state as control gives way to chaotic abandon and a transition occurs from one state to the next. I am heavily influenced by the excessive and sensuously rich imagery of Baroque art and it’s depiction of the unfettering of religious restraint. Instead of the gentle ushering of the spirit towards the heavens my paintings spit, ejaculate, regurgitate and projectile vomit the spirit out, rejecting it’s bodily form in a fit of maniacal hysterics, a nonsensical reflexive outburst like the spasmodic speaking in tongues of those ‘slain in the spirit”
