Artists live in unknown spaces and give themselves over to following something unknown.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I feel like every artist has an opportunity to create something new and to challenge themselves to reach out to a new crowd.
As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.
Everybody is bound by some social rules. But I think that artists need some kind of freedom to explore their minds and that some of them tend to take that freedom to live a little more openly or a little more dangerously, sometimes a lot more self-destructively, than other people.
I am tapping into a place in you that is unexplored, and very dangerous, but I think essential to the creative life of an artist.
When artists who are not associated with the typical infrastructure get recognition, that becomes a cultural movement.
I think each artist lives with purpose. A strong sense of purpose. We know who's come before us.
Some artists want to confront. Some want to invoke thought. They're all necessary and they're all valid.
If only the people around you know you're an artist, then you're doing something wrong.
So many artists try to be something that they're not.
Every day you run into artists on the streets in SoHo or other creative people you want to do something with. There's nothing to match that chance encounter.
