This is an extremely refreshing take on how we, as artists, take ourselves and our work too serious. It was an excellent read and definitely something to ponder. Oh, by the way, I am a writer, poet, and photographer. I love the rises and falls of words written across a white sheet of paper and I love to see images a bit differently that maybe someone else. That is all too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I believe that this message is a bit unpalatable to some (it's not nice to hear your art isn't important)... but to me it is refreshing too!
Art doesn't need to be so heavy. I think that artists make it heavy. Sure, when we fail there is a bit of snickering from the peanut gallery, but you stepped up and tried. Art isn't you, it's just something you made.
I really appreciate you leaving that comment. I am glad the message hit home for you.
And thanks for sharing that you are a writer, poet, and photographer. I hope those pursuits bring you a lot of happiness.
Cheers,
Christopher
