An artist statement that I think is well written and helps the viewer have a better understanding of the artwork is one written by Mike Kelley. I believe what makes Kelley's statement successful is that he explains in depth what influences his art. He writes which principles of design he incorporates in his work and why, what the driving force is behind all of his works, and what his work is technically about. Kelley also informs viewers of the media choices of his pieces and tries to clarify things he has said that might cause confusion or misunderstanding. Each sentence gives better insight into the decisions Kelley made with his art and what his works is trying to communicate.
