By contract, I have to submit an "Artist Statement" to a gallery for a show I have coming up.

I have been good at avoiding this in the past (let the work speak for itself, I say) but I am now cornered. After some attempts, I keep stalling and cannot come up with much of anything worth sharing. It's getting embarassing, and the gallery needs this by next week!

To kick start this process, would you share yours or point me to ones you've been impressed by? Don't worry. I am not planing to copy anyone's statement. I just need a "boost" to get going.

Suggestions?
