Well, there are those few that absolutely blow me away that they actually came from my brush. The gods were smiling on those days I think. :)Janice C.

I thought, well, just come to my studio, or follow me for a few days. Not that I wanted them around, judges that is..:) Or, hm, just look at the work!!!!! But part of the profession is somehow finding words too. <BR/> I agree totally with you, creation and explanation are entirely different things. The work is supposed to be able to stand alone. It has been my experience though that they want, and like, the story too. <BR/>I 'd love to read some of your work sometime. I have lots of writer friends.Janice C.

It's bad enough having to make some kind of statement about less creative, more conventional lines of work, never mind something that you throw your entire existence into. <BR/><BR/>I've done a good bit of fiction, poetry and playwriting and have always felt that the less said by me the better. Creation and explanation are two very different processes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598004650134967444.post-56063683178058784322008-07-16T21:12:00.000-07:002008-07-16T21:12:00.000-07:00I totally agree, PB!!!

It's a beautiful artist's statement. Janice: Captured, right there.<BR/><BR/>If I were the artist, I'd sent that heartfelt message to the judges.<BR/><BR/>It'll look good in the book. :)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>KellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
