No Small Idea




This was created a few years ago for a fantastic local event called "Feed Your Soul". Here's the Artist Statement that went along with the piece:


This piece was created not to illustrate this event’s purpose but to honor the idea responsible for the event.


The idea was to spread good.

The idea was to help.


It was nothing revolutionary, nothing earth-shattering.

It was just helping.


This was the beginning.


Such a small idea, like all small ideas, vulnerable to being lost in the shuffle. Tossed aside to counter-balance life. Swept under a rug to be picked up later. This small idea, like all ideas we have, when given just five more minutes
of time has the potential grow to become something so great and so wonderful.


What impresses me most and what inspires me most, is not so much the fruition of the idea for Feed Your Soul
(as impressive as it may be) but that despite the myriad of ways that this fragile, paper-like idea could have been thwarted, it won.
