I'm off to Vietnam for 2 weeks. It started out how I was thinking how to get my Art into a country across the world but the more I've thought about it the more beautiful I think it is, and the harder I've worked on it. I do think Art is one of the most beautiful gift I can give as an artist. I appreciate that the people are poor, why should Art only be enjoyed by people who aren't poor? I want to give them a possession that they can keep, everyone deserves possessions, they re quite lovely little objects with beautiful words on them. Ok there is a picture of my ugly mug on it, but it's a happy little face. I want to give them a little hope. All art is pretentious and self righteous because you have to be to believe you have something important to say. And I believe Love, friendship, comedy and happiness are the most important things in the world, and so many people forget that. I hope you can understand, it's really not all about making myself feel good about myself it's about sharing something universally beautiful. Please comment I would really appreciate som feedback as I have had quite a few mixed responses to the project. Thanks x
The words in Vietnamese say Love, Freindship, Comedy and Happiness - I believe the most important things in the world.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this idea, in the west we decorate our homes with pretty trinkets and curiosities which, everyday make us smile and feel a warm glow. I can imagine one of these in someones little home across the world, every time they think of the experience of meeting you they will raise a little smile and know someone, somewhere cares about their emotional wellbeing.
