What Price Originality?
(bad pic of a block print I did 12 years ago)
That cow hangs in the townhouse we share as a family in Central Florida - so I only get to see it a couple times per year. It is a good cow, a colorful cow, perhaps an ornery cow. But it is still a cow. Even if we could identify the most talented and unique cow of all time, it would still be hamburger in the long run.
Human life is a constant balance between originality and conformity. We are half sheep and half God. I love to ponder and pick at the existential wound when it comes to that little yin/yang, and this is my favorite extreme:
I have started an exhibition of the most unique artworks. Here are the criteria. Create a masterpiece. Then destroy it immediately before anyone else sees it. It can be any media whatsoever, but it needs to be THAT personal.
