I think art, at its best, happens on a conscious and a subconscious level.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.
Art is, for me, the process of trying to wake up the soul. Because we live in an industrialized, fast-paced world that prefers that the soul remain asleep.
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
Art, to me, is the interpretation of the impression which nature makes upon the eye and brain.
Art is a deception that creates real emotions - a lie that creates a truth. And when you give yourself over to that deception, it becomes magic.
To engage with art, we have to be willing to be wrong, venture outside our psychic comfort zones, suspend disbelief, and remember that art explores and alters consciousness simultaneously.
Art comes from a visceral need and is usually generated by something I have seen; writing comes from something that happens in my head and my heart.
For me, art is such a wide concept - anything can be art.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
I think there is a hunger for things that wake you up, something that makes you peel back your eyes, that reminds you that you are alive. Art is at its best when it is in the 'now.'
