the path of an artist is jumbled in many ways because its the one endeavor where there are no rules. there is art made by blind people as well as art made by animals of the natural kingdom. you can listen to experts all day and none of it makes any sense really. And then the artist asks themselves what the hell am I doing here anyway? and that answer might never make any sense either. Theres art schools, which ideally the artist would get kicked out of, only to return by some random act of grace, only to be kicked out again in a revolving circle. Money, praise admiration. none of this suits an artist who is perpetually lost and wandering down hidden alleys. Staring at a large canvas my new thought process is to look forward a comprehensive project that is never finished. much in the same way that normal people avoid the thought of death. The brush moves in the same way a heart beats, and once again we must remind ourselves that whatever we think we might know isn’t always the reality for someone else.
