perhaps painting, drawing, writing capturing, remembering inventing, building planning planting
creating
something new
is also for the artist a coded sort of
self-analysis
an irrepressible subconscious attempt to understand untangle unwind reconfigure
long term effects of helplessness confusion misunderstanding
while afloat in an existence formed to bear
pain loss unfairness lost horizons and death
to unclench forgotten fear
find ways to retranslate mislabeled feelings
to forgive poorly understood people
find and capture in a moment of personal expression simple truth and some of the complexities that are the roots for each
to find and capture for a moment in creative works the peace of being the peace of simply taking in what is
to find ways to trust artistic motivations impulses and movement when creating
to extend self create new languages new mediums of self
and if as some propose we are each of us in some way infinite through space and time and [ somehow in ] other dimensions so strange they have no common name
perhaps art is the forever game
discovering each time what we are what we were and what we might be
