🌞What is my artistic self ?
Looking at the mixed art media above that I created even if someone have never met me they could probably guess on a few things that are important to me, that is a part of me. People could take a look at my choice of colors, textures, images I made and the ones I clipped out of newspapers and magazines, the poem and the book cover I choose to include in this piece “Part of Me” and create some assumptions what I am about. Most guesses might be correct and some might be hidden.
🌞What does the image above tell you about me?
In a recent article Good Art Moves Culture Forward Rick Allen describes what art means to him that inspired me to reflect on what art means to me as well.
“It’s a mirror, yes, but it’s also a pry bar. It reveals the shape of things, but it also nudges at the edges. It can start as a whisper or a scream, a melody or a color field, but when it lands — really lands — it shifts something. A mindset. A mood. A whole society.
Art isn’t decoration. It’s provocation. It’s balm. It’s blueprint.” Rick Allen
