i do not have any images today, i have been cleaning houses to make my money and i am thinking about the complexity of living a life within a structure. i mean that we are born at this point into a structure, a structure that the ows movement is at its most sublime trying to get us to question. i was talking recently with a complete stranger at a bar about the realization that so many humans have lived before us and we have access to many of their thoughts dreams hopes resolutions ( all one word, no comma's ) and really this is where we are at? this is the totality of that wealth of human existence? as an artist i am feeling more and more that if capitalism isnt sucking the art out of art than it is academia. with a graduate degree i have a hard time figuring out where i will find a school to teach at that wants to challenge students not to draw realistic images from life to be exact but use drawing to connect to oneself. what do you see? how does it make you feel? what do you have to say about it? why would you draw? and what is the relevance of drawing in 2011?
