I think a lot about how to convey this message of animal welfare. But I’m aware that I didn’t 100% follow my morals until Gary passed. It took a hugely emotionally moment for me to commit to my ideals.
Philosophers say that’s what art is for, to powerfully convey a message. Plato actually feared art because of that. It’s too powerful. I tried art school a few years ago without any idea of what being an artist was about. I didn’t get much out of it. After getting a little older and reading philosophy, I’m slowly understanding.
I think I like experimenting with so many things because I’m trying to find my medium. And it will probably be a product of a lot of mixes of different lanes I’ve pursued. For now, I don’t think it will be writing or app based. Obviously both of those can be an art form, but I don’t see my attempts at those are any kind of emotional. Not even to me. This summer I’ll focus more on bikes and sculpture to see if there’s anything there for me.
