PURSE UP MOUTH
What if one does not want to say anything with art?
It does not mean that there is nothing to say -
it is a question of different way of communicating
and looking at things.
Art can operate as a platform for the understanding of all.
It is a question of the process, not about the message -
art can represent the journey and the steps taken
but never show you the arrival.
something made + something taken in = something new again

These feel like thoughts conceived in clear mountain air! Thank you for sharing!
So many thoughts to hold onto; I want to mull over each line separately and together.
I imagine standing in front of many different pieces with you and each time hearing your voice saying these words.. It would make me look at each work entirely differently.
In my mind each piece would share something in common.. a true voice, an unselfish surrendering to something outside of them selves.. and in each or a unselfconscious moment something is given away and described as only they could describe it.
Thank you for these words and sorry flouncey reply!
This is a favourite quote of mine by Alfred Barr, the first director of the Museum of Modern Art and feels relevant:
A work of art is an infinitely complex focus of human experience. The mystery of its creation, its history.. its relationships to other works of art, its physical condition, the meaning of its subject, the technique of its production, the purpose of the man who made it — all these factors lie behind a work of art, converge upon it, and challenge our powers of analysis.
—Alfred H. Barr, Jr., 1946
