(sorry, I'm a little slow on the uptake.) I'd actually never considered that as my "Artist Statement" but more of a lighthearted bio type deal. However, reading this advice and whatnot about writing a statement that stands out, etc. makes me think it actually does work pretty well as such. I might have to re-write the snoozer of statement I have up on my website currently. Ha!</p> <p>:o)<br /> -Krissy</p> Hi Tammy, this is wonderful, I had no idea you'd written this!

I am one of the consumers you artists are trying to reach with your statements. I did go and read the articles you posted about artist's statements, and for the life of me I can not read Krissy's and identify it as an actual artist's statement. I read Krissy's, and found it both amusing and annoying. It gave me no idea what kind of art I was going to see when I went to her site, and it didn't particularly make me want to go there. Personally, I don't care what kind of toilet paper a person likes, although this "artist's statement" made me realize that I would rather have read that she liked 100% recycled toilet paper. </p> <p>However, I did go and check out her art because that was the whole point of this blog post, and it really didn't make any more sense to me than her statement, so I guess that she accomplished her goal in writing the statement.</p> I'm not really an artist, so I don't have an artist's statement.

You know, this is a huge gift you are giving us today here:)<br /> I just updated my website and managed to write something like a "BIO" but not yet my new artist statement, with which I have had so much difficulties during the past months. I own alison's book and there are so very helpful advices in there, but it's good see more here/ And Krissy Downings is WONDERFUL:). A huge thankyou for this great post:)<br /> love<br /> Andrea<br /> PS : sizzling hot here in Paris, we are being barbecued...</p> Hi Tammy!

I need to rewrite mine some time soon, I know. Maybe this will inspire me to loosen up at least a little bit! What's odd is that I love to write, but somehow writing about myself is very very difficult. We should set up a swap thing where we write rough drafts of each others' artist' statements, to sort of poke us in the right direction--actually, that would be fun, although I'm not sure how totally useful... Hmmm.</p> Oh, I love this! I need to rewrite mine some time soon, I know. Maybe this will inspire me to loosen up at least a little bit!
