Dewane Hughes: statement

I am a deacon in the Cult of Hand, baptized in the viscera of human experience.    It is from this perspective that I create, construct, conduct, and convert the viewer (spectator) from audience to witness.  A witness has an understanding that an audience has not.  A witness bears the responsibility of a knowledge possessed by only a few.  A witness can give detail to the crime, explain the magic to the trick, and can preach to the glory of both.

Spectacle begets Spectacle:  The psycho-kinetic creative process is NOT clean, neat or cerebrally encrypted, but rather bumped into on a dance floor when deep in a trance.  It drops from adequate hands onto sufficient materials the way bellowed hymns filter out of rural tabernacles slightly out of tune.  To make a joyful noise (joyful object), bravely play the fool in all grace.
