david driskell -- "ancient alphabets" (1990)

"i'm going down to ALphabet street" ... prince

"when the indomitable human spirit rises above the chaos of violence, hunger and pain and soars to a heightened relief through the making of art, we are classless and raceless so long as we create the spiritual vision. as an artist of african ancestry, i have had to learn to live with racism, sexism and all of the prejudices. i often find refuge and, indeed, solace in the creative process. in the quiet of my small studio nestled in the majestic pines and white birches in maine, two worlds merge in my work, one of sight, the other of vision. the beauty of nature and the creative world of the imaginations together express the joyous vision i have as an artist, responding to the spiritual urge within to fulfill my earthly task of making and creating my own beautiful world" ... david driskell
