“My work doesn’t aim to reveal truths or messages. Rather, I would prefer to baffle. I like to think that bewilderment can be a heightened state of mind.”
Ted Fullwood

Read Ted’s full statement

“I spent my first eighteen years in a near-constant state of daydreaming. It is still my fall-back state of mind. As a result, I gravitate toward art forms, mostly sculptural, that tap into and enhance that state. These art forms tend to be time-intensive and repetitive. Through reverie, I find my ideas for art. These ideas are ephemeral; they come in flashes and I don’t question their importance. Instead, I start translating the ideas into material form as quickly as possible, though the whole process will take much longer. I do not want to hash out these ideas with my conscious, rational brain because I consider it to be the bane of creativity and imagination.”
