Exploring the Consequences of Art
The different paths an artist chooses to take in his eventual creation of art is a journey that has long held a fascination for me. The processes undertaken, the challenges faced, or the relationships that grew or suffered or neglected in the pursuit of art, some of the questions that not sufficiently explored when discussing most art forms.
Art permeates our lives and do have consequences, whether in the enthusiastic consumption of it or the joyful, pride-filled creation of it. We must not content ourselves in being mere passive consumers of art, but must be active explorers of its various consequences. Not only must we critique the art, we must also critique the profound effects it has in our lives.
