Certainly this is in part due to insecurity and the audacity I believe it would take to call myself an artist. So, I color inside the lines of form + function with an occasional foray to the outer limits of creativity. Whilst not everything I make or create is necessary, it generally has some usefulness. I am proud of this. Still, I do think that pushing beyond that and challenging ones self, facing fears and reaching for greater creativity, is also useful.
All this preamble just to tell you that I start a photography class tonight, goodness!
While photography certainly has purpose and function, I find it also exists of itself. I can take a photograph that is purely artistic (to my sensibilities) and let go of some of my controlled observations. It is one way I intend to look outside of myself, find inspiration and hopefully have some Art to hang on my wall.
Wish me luck.
LN, know some of that Diane will rub off on you, best of luck
ReplyDeleteyou don't need luck- you've got the serious artsy fartsy gene.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see more of your talents unfold :)

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you, my dear, are 110% artist--in many different genres. Sorry, sunshine.
