William Conklin Art is a chronicle of things known and unknown. It is a record of days gone by and a future prophesied. Art is a temper tantrum. It is one hot kiss. I make art, and when the day disappears what stays is a physical object that means more than all of me. Put it on the wall, do with it what you will, for art can expand a room as well as a mind. A piece can teach as well as titillate. Control. Ego. Beauty. Camp. Ugliness. I am not afraid of these things. I personify them, as does my work. Enjoy.
