Notes-thoughts-confessions-revelations-etc.
I had an influential Art History and Honors Humanities teacher say that art is the hub through which all life spokes pass in our wheel of life. Art is the central expression of our human experience—expressing what it is to be human in all ways, and like the facets of a cut diamond, adding light to our life experience.
Here is a record for myself to occassionally review and for anyone willing to read my notes: art is a process and a journey. I often find myself in a creative relationship to creating and being created in the art-making process as I dance with the artwork, sometimes wrestle, sometimes joyufully with surprise and wonder, other times, the process can be tiring and exhausting—like any relationship.

This is how some creative ideas develop as the developmental course gets blocked and altered by circumstance—but then: lightning. - Bob Dylan Didn’t Say That!
This is a fine example of memory conflation. Bob Dylan didn’t say that! What did Bob Dylan say? - Art Review: Chihuly
