Teach it - Promote it - Create it - you are responsible for the continuation of the culture you love. Keep it alive through your actions.
Earlier this week I was feeling anxious ,depressed and overwhelmed. A friend confessed they felt the same. Yesterday we helped each other by getting together, making art together and then distributing that art freely in a nearby town. Today I am feeling so happy.

Stop thinking you are "in a relationship" like you are in a house. You are "doing a relationship" like you are knitting a sweater. A relationship is a path you walk together, not a destination.

In my dream we are standing on the gathering site of the historic bandit gang "The Black Keiths". We might be trying to revive their legacy. Branches hang low in the darkness.

Deeply moving, and a true example of what art writing should be in our fractured times.
I wrote a deeply personal essay that hopes to explain @pyaariazaadi.bsky.social’s art and how so much is outside the frame of her gallery art and how it represents a new wave of practitioners challenging us!
