art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.
~ Kurt Vonnegut
Writing about the subjective value of art is… challenging. We all know it’s there; we all know it’s valuable; we all know it works – but we can’t explain why or how. There is, and always has been, a power in making images. In ancient Egyptian the word for sculptor meant “one who keeps alive”.
This week’s artist is a show – World of Wearable Art – I recently stumbled across entries from a previous show and thought they were worth sharing (I realize that I present based on my tastes/interests and sometimes try to look for things outside of my norm – both to help myself grow and to present artists I otherwise wouldn’t.) Check out their website and instagram for even more!
