but pushing those expressions
Tonight I attend the reception for couRAGE
a show that cultivated artists in my local community expressing many levels of emotion for multiple issues of importance. I am pleased to say, I did risk putting in a piece not ordinary for me to create, nor for me to show in public.
A journalistic piece, expressed in a moment of frustration about multiple issues I feel strongly about. The ongoing wars, my own personal acceptance and struggle with a son entering the military, the inequities i witness daily between the labor and management of business, politics, the crumbling as i see it in our world of democracy, or at least the crumbling once more of my perception of how i see or thought the world was. The discrepancies of life, living on life's terms of course, we have always known, life is not easy.
We are never in a vacuum.
Others around us are always creating some influence.
It is up to us to sort through what fits for us and what is someone else's projection.
I am in a place of total circumspection, everything is under scrutiny, nothing is trusted on face level.
Times are such; ripe for birth of expressing what is or has been kept under wrap or corked inside.
Intentions to bring world peace or even peace to a small corner of our own world can be inflationary and grandiose.
Being honest and real is primary. All expression is worthy.
You have a wonderfully artistic site Robbin!
