What is Art?
Art is the crystal that results from pouring your energy, futility, and gross error, again and again, into the infinitely vast wellspring that is your medium. With any luck, this refined gem will float from the pool of slurry that you so arduously created by vomiting countless chunks of your enduring spirit and, with a little more luck, you’ll be able to repeat the process without retching the whole of your eternal self into that empty vastness to which you dedicate yourself.
What is art? Art is life sacrificed. Art does not just happen and though some may spit and toss and tear and mar and destroy and kill and call it art, they are lying. Though responses can be random, signals must be pure. All that is there is there and was all carefully orchestrated to mean something. That is what it is to be an artist. To create.
That is art.
