From the beginning, my inspiration has been a flow of motion. Things that are explosive and powerful, but when slowed down created this vision I love. It is like a tension created at a loud concert, but when observed everyone is moving to the beat calmly. I participated in many types of competitive sports, and the ability to convey the athlete or performer’s effort, power, and focus with one piece of creative art has been my challenge. When I get this inspired vision and create the final piece, it makes me feel complete. — David Alderman
