Creativity Quote by Howard Finster

Finster talks like someone taking dictation from the future, and that breathless, loping syntax is the point. The quote collapses craft, faith, and invention into one continuous sentence because, in his worldview, they are one continuous project. Building a dome in a chapel is already an act of sacred architecture; adding “perpetual motion” and an “un resist able windmill” turns the chapel into a workshop for miracles. He isn’t just describing a quirky idea. He’s staking a claim: imagination can be a form of devotion, and tinkering can be a kind of prayer.

The intent reads as both confession and manifesto. “I haven’t never give it up yet” is stubbornness dressed as testimony, the grammar of someone who refuses the polite boundary between possible and impossible. Perpetual motion, scientifically taboo, becomes symbolic fuel: a dream of endless energy, endless creation, endless revelation. That’s classic outsider-art logic, not in the dismissive sense, but in the literal one: working outside the gatekeeping systems that say which visions count.

Context matters. Finster’s art emerged from a distinctly American ecosystem where evangelical certainty meets DIY engineering and folk aesthetics. The “vision” isn’t metaphorical; it’s a credential. By naming it as received rather than invented, he frames his work as transmission, not self-expression. The windmill, “un resist able,” carries its own subtext: a machine that harnesses invisible force. That’s Finster’s artistic method in miniature - make the unseen visible, give spiritual weather a set of blades.
