we aren’t normal!

social media is trying to make artists normal, fast and disposable. I remember I would scroll through and see someones masterpiece and think, how long do most people look at this? Everything is fast food now, just consume and move on quickly. The movement of it and pressure is exhausting and unenjoyable. Art is meant to be savoured and thought about. aRt is a slowing down, a stirring up inside us, a connection, a practice , a breath that soothes us. HOw does anyone capture presence with the machine (algorithms) bArking at us advertising and to get more followers and likes? So many good reasons to not be apart of that, so I left. I just want to sit with one masterpiece at a time without any distractions, taking each color and shape with my breath……this is solace….
