ReveriePausing and remembering A reverie beyond the isle and mountains Dreaming torturously of that fated day The one that never came A coin lost to those emerald fountains Flights in my mind Desperate as they now appear to me Weighed down in doubt and denial No test, but still a fiery trial A false ardor which forbade me to see The visage didn't lie With crooked eye and blackened tooth Yet how heavy was the sickness below That allowed that foul venom to flow To poison me in my naive youth The tongue of a silver spike Twisting truth in plain daylight Despite some kind word and loving speech You alluded me in my sleep But clouded my hopeless sight Despair encased me Misery my only companion Free and feeling when the spirits ran forth Running dry when came the morn Wandering alone in a vast canyon Awakening was abrupt Far too long a time coming In that time I stood tall Holding myself above all Refusing blows that were shocking or stunning Away I walked Afraid if my boldness was wrong But bold it was not When harbouring respect and considerate thought Though it still proved your anger quite bitter once I was gone So here we sit Having long since passed this mysterious test Separated by life and many an hour Though this expanse appears quite dark in light and form To otherwise, honestly, I see no reason to attest - Sierra Matz Rick AndriolaDoug WaterfieldDavid MacDowellHirotoshi ItoSteven Lee MatzRF PangbornLyle Toledo YazzieLee Harvey RoswellSaturno ButtòStephen KasnerApril 3, 1970 - December 25, 2019

A great specter is looming over the art world: the specter of Inter|Sekt. For far too long we have watched the artists of our generation turned into a disposable commodity, bought and sold by the galleries, stifled in their expression by the tastes of the art consultants who purchase pieces on behalf of financially minded clients who want a "solid investment".
They have been amalgamated into schools, said schools are a device of gallerists and art historians to divide and conquer the creatives and free thinkers. For we live in a nation which thinks itself to be free yet is not, they expect the same of their artists. Our culture has been raped and plundered by the upper echelon, picked apart and sold by the same greed mongers who claim to be it's patrons. The tool which has most effectively stunted the growth of modern American art in particular is the clever indoctrination of this idea of schools to not only the art student but anyone whom even reads a brief survey of the history of art sees that it is broken up into these categorized schools; the philosophies of these various sects creates conflict, division, and ultimately destruction of the morale and submission to the established order. Thus rendering the creative spirit confused and useless. This helps curb the rebellious spirit of the average citizen outside of the art world in other spheres of society. Art history is a lie and galleries are dens of thieves! Inter|Sekt is not destroying the schools or the galleries, we are simply showing you they were never real, at least not in a world outside of that constructed by academics to sell text books to art students. The reign of the gallerists and art consultants is over when you want it to be. From the ashes of the indoctrinated schools of every form of art shall arise The New World Creative. -Steven Lee Matz- The inter|sekt manifesto
