Article Handout: "Reflections on the recognition of making, untold recollections, and other random notes" Squeak Carnwath
-My art for me is more of an outlet or way to get away from every day life by expressing ideals with objectives and specific media. I have had a decent amount of lie experiences that have formed me into the artist that I am today. Going through all the memory boxes in order to make a consicive linear historic reason for my taking to art might be quite difficult. Something as complex as that is difficult to simplify down to important dates and emotions. I guess it is also apart of my mentality; art is my release- thus those things never need to be discussed further. I have always had an innate obsession with art and its creation. It almost makes me feel empowered when I create and when I explain art to others. Art has always reached out to me, even when I didn't understand it and when my art itself was not that great. That only pushed me closer to it tho. I also think a lot of it is due to the teachers and professors I have had through out my journey. In a way, art has helped me to be able to express myself to others as well as having the ability to discuss art with others, enabling me to become apart of the community . It seems when I had my major art realizations; I was first creating art to disconnect from the real world in order to express emotions not favored in it, but no art is my real world which gives me better legs to stand on in that realm. I am not sure if I just want to go ahead and bullet point out specific times in my life because although I do have specific art epiphanies, I feel my connection to it has always been there- even if I knew it or not. Art is apart of my being and bullet pointing it out would not give it justice.
