River Jordan by Bradley

A lot of people make art for different reasons. I mainly make things now to express myself in more elaborate ways, and often only doing so to grant a stronger response from myself. If other people like thats cool too but ultimately its internally a dialogue im allowing others to see. Having said that, the purpose of this concerted effort was to execute appropriation as well as having some tie-in with holiday season. An assignment for my class that will culminate via an exhibit held on December 12th, at the Community Artist Collective. Ive decided to put this out today to give my "audience" time to listen, inform themselves and formulate an opinion in preparation for the exhibition date so you can have a point of reference during my artist talk that will feature videos for a couple of the tracks. The tracks "Mama Jo" and "Constellate" fulfill the holiday theme requirement but the remainder of the tracks are a full on exploration I had by myself. All stemming from what I felt the core emotion of the holidays boils down to which is love, unconditionally. Wanting to understand relationships more, the grey areas to be exact. Being the recent developments in my life, the ups and the downs. Its pretty much stolen dialogue from movies and a few tv shows that I'm using as actual open dialogue with myself. The music being my calculated cadence, response and backing. The result is growth, and at this point I'm so over thinking that I'm finally under standing. It sucks that some things aren't the same, major things, but I baptized myself and waded in my mistakes the past 2 years. I placated the Jordan River and thats what I'm most thankful for this year
