Love Of the the three great gifts of the creator, the greatest gift of all is love and don't we know it!!!Or do we? I wonder sometimes as I watch humans chase substitutes such as appreciation and validation, thinking at the base of those endeavours lies love. No, love is a frequency unto itself
I'll never forget the day I was driving to work at the bank, like I did every day, when this bolt of realisation struck that it was all just so ridiculous.I felt out of my body and like an alien on the planet. I was so at odds with the world around me and the 9-5, work, eat, sleep routine had worn very thin.
My great hope is that when I'm out of your sight, you won't forget me. Dreams of immortality, that our lives mean something to someone and that all of this suffering isn't for nothing.
Before you go ahead and call out 'religion' on me, take a minute or two to consider this. Faith. What is it? Why does it matter? Faith is a prescription with which a life is lived and purpose of being is forged.
The art world is a curious beast driven by many a curious factor. What makes an artwork good, bad or indifferent has been the cause for many a heated debate in circles scholarly or otherwise. We address matters such as composition and colour theory and ask does it have rhythm and reason. We look to the artist's reputation and philosophy too. Such a complex equation to conclude a final deduction to whether it is a good piece of art or not.
