need

still thinking of Kusama- her "Art Medicine". art as cure. art as protection. art as health. art as talisman, amulet, proof of life, act of sadness, act of sanity, a savior, a quest, a means of survival, a means of investigation, of knowing, of coming to terms, a reckoning, a decision, a question.

art as breath. a voice. a call. a need.

food. shelter. water.

art as a basic necessity.

humans make meaning because they need it.

food. shelter. water.

beauty? clarity? direction?

something honest. something basic. something irrefutable.






today i am making wreaths. an ouroborus made of moths. a way of making a prayer. an attempt toward understanding. maybe protection. maybe just an act of simple honesty.

humans make meaning (art) because they need it.
