EASTON a Rationale for Abstract Art: Representational art tells you what is and therefore in essence what to think. Abstract art releases you from that constraint and lets you think what you will. I carve stone (and, occasionally, wood). I create non-representational pieces; I prefer to call them abstracts. My pieces are generally sensuous and pleasing to the eye. My pieces do not represent things that do exist in our world, but echo aspects of that world. I view my pieces as vital, formal compositions . What determines their success, to me, is a quality of ‘rightness’ that should shine forth: the piece should be able to stand by itself and be believable.
