Discarded writing (Talen head)
It is the act of the artist to bring to bear on anything he or she creates the sum of all the art he or she has experienced in his or her life. In this way, every artwork contributes to the artwork that comes after it, every little grain of sand trickling down through the hourglass of aeons and adding to our culture. To the holder of the hourglass, each and every grain is irrelevant, nothing more than dust that flows like liquid. But to the sand, each and every one of them is as mighty as a boulder, tumbling through the space and setting off reaction after reaction.
Everything that happens, happens for a reason. It's caused by the things before it and in turn, causes the things after it. Nothing every truly transpires in a vacuum. But to the human element, those watchers and readers and people of this world, who go about their lives, the vacuum is so easily felt. Everyone feels that that which they do is unimportant, so they affix meaning to things they think are greater than themselves, unable to grip the reality of it, unable to grasp the simple, unfeeling, indifferent truth: That everything that happens, happens. |
