April 14, 2009: artists are outsiders
Artists are outsiders- we are observers. We make things. Things to help us try to make sense of the world. It is an simple as that. It is the ability to reflect, to be in a studio, to haveĀ place to go that is set aside from the daily realities of life: eating, shopping for groceries, driving. It is a quest for knowledge- we want to know more. We are curious. We make objects to thank about. We make things because they aren’t there, to try to better understand our own history and the circumstances that led to us being here. Art is about ideas.
