Have you created a dynamic piece that screams holy hell in aisle 5; demands a "moon-shaped eggplant" and then bites you when you carry its shrieking body out of the store?
This is a child.
Some artists say their work is "like their children." They can't be.
If it hangs on a wall, stands on a pedestal, adorns a person, place or thing, then this is probably art. Children will always be a part of you and you cannot sell them. You also cannot stick them in the closet if they disappoint you.
Please note the difference.

Excellent, hilarious, powerful, concise. You have convinced me. I will stop saying that!
ReplyDeleteAnyway the metaphor used to make me feel like I was neglecting my child. Now that I realize I have no child to neglect, my guilt is lessened. Thank you!
