Eyes to See? In this Economy?
June for Locals: Inkwell Happy Hour and an Open Essay Call
Where does art come from?
Probably from staring into screens and drowning out the world around you with noise and distraction.
Eyes to see or ears to hear? In this economy?
No thanks.
Unless, you know, you’re an artist or a maker and your whole soul depends on de-scaled eyes and unplugged ears.
Where does art come from?
Art begins in attention, in noticing the hidden beauty of the world around you and seeing things as they truly are. A kaleidoscope of the brilliant and tragic seeing and hearing of your everyday life.
You cannot sleepwalk through the moments of your world. You cannot let the beauty all around you be flattened into the consumable.
You must wake up.
