The Artists Spirit
What is art?
ㅤ
Lines, streaks, and smudges?
smears, splashes, and stamps of paint?
ㅤ
On paper? in soil? On walls? On skin? Under skin?
Bones reset, reassembled, and screwed; skin tenderly flayed and sewn?
The sawdust dancing from the knife in the wind from whittled wood; freeing a shape?
ㅤ
Whispering ashes swirling from a woodfire kiln chimney?
The bits of data zipping through devices facilitating magic?
The clean straight lines of a well dug ditch ready for years life?
The reaching arms of a well trimmed fruit tree embracing the sky?
ㅤ
Art is both product and process
Any act artfully done is art
shame not any artist
see their wonder
foster it
