I want to explore the sense of intimacy that is connected to emotional and physical attachment, interdependence and a longing for fulfillment

Steven Soderbergh is helping me to make sense of things.
“Why do we create? What is art for exactly? I don’t always know the answer to that but…I guess the answer is that, in the moment of experiencing art, you’re not alone…You’re connected to another human being, often in a way that transcends description…I believe we would be diminished if we didn’t have that particular form of human connection…I want in that moment, for that person to feel like I gave them everything that I have. I feel like I owe them that. I feel like we owe each other that.”
Thanks Al

Where does the notion of 'art' reside?
In the idea? In the action? In the product?
of course, this is completely subjective, but it is a question I finally asked myself today.
and I am still undecided.

Just Kids by Patti Smith. Carry me away
Although I don't actually have time to be reading, I considered this to be my small escape from the work, school, tube pattern of life. Now that I am reading it, I have discovered how relevant it actually is to everything I am doing. I have found so much comfort in this book, so thank you Patti.
"I craved honesty, yet found dishonesty in myself. Why commit to art? For self-realization, or for itself? It seemed indulgent to add to the glut unless one offered illumination" (Pg 65)

Darrel Morris, 'Teeth'
regardless of the time
A few of my 70cm by 115cm drawing/collages I did living in Paris. I needed something to take up my time, and these meticulous works did the job well. Made in early 2010
