Where can I post the following text about a artist I'm trying to find:
I’ve been trying to track down a YouTube video ( more so the man himself ) I watched around 2019, but I think it was actually filmed somewhere around 2008–2013.
It was an interview with an older man living somewhere in the California or Southwest desert. He wasn’t famous or anything, just an obscure sculptor/writer type guy that a filmmaker visited at his home or studio.
I remember he made sculptures out of metal or clay, or something, kind of figurative work, and lived pretty isolated out in the desert, Im pretty sure California.
In the interview he also talked about UFOs, spirituality, and more mystical or philosophical ideas. One detail that stuck with me is that he said when he was a kid he stared at the sun and ended up with a permanent blind spot in his vision, like a black dot he could always see.
The video itself was just a normal YouTube interview, not a big production or anything, and the guy wasn’t well known at all.
He had some sort of enlightenment and was somehow connected to his vision loss. Also hes on a different level of spiritualy or something like that.
I know this is super vague but If anyone has any idea who this might be or has seen the video before, I’d really appreciate it.
