The lifestyle that an artist can have, the freedom to wander in the landscape with no real pressure or deadlines, was a very attractive one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Art flourishes where there is a sense of adventure.
To be able to do art, it was a luxury to me.
Art includes everything that stimulates the desire to live.
I think, like any artist or any writer, I just want to have that pure freedom of expression and of thought - the freedom to explore and move in unexpected ways.
Art was always for me an escape and a way to relate to the world around me.
To live as an artist requires hard work or some extraordinary good fortune to come your way.
I believe that art has been a vehicle for me that's been about enlightenment and expanding my own parameters, to give me courage to exercise the freedom that I have in life.
The nice thing about the world that I've been able to inhabit for the last couple of years is that I'm given a lot of freedom. Not all artists really get that.
Art was, seriously, the only thing I'd ever wanted to own. It has always been for me a stable nourishment. I use it. It can change the way that I feel in the mornings.
Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay.
