I much prefer mirror art to political art.

Roni Horn finds interesting ways around this when she lectures. One lecture she only played music, another she read some poems about water. I wonder what picasso would write in his artist statement or Edvard munch. It's new phenomenon that makes sense for some conceptual work with little visual interest. Sometimes it's interesting to know just a little bit what the artist was thinking or where she or he is coming from. If the process is unique that could be intersting to know. But in general I would keep an artist statment very short and straight forward. no fancy language. pretentious words only make you look fake and foolish.
