Life is a big art project: My Creative Conspiracy Theory is that everyone is an artist, but few people really believe in their own creative powers.
This has nothing to do with a still life. This has everything to do with the lines, shapes and textures of your experience in the space and time of daily living. This is about the fullest expression of yourself that we’ve all been waiting for and the difference that makes.
It’s about the importance and the power of art, especially art that stretches beyond the canvas into the embodied dynamics of your fleshy self. “You do art when you make change that matters, and do it via a connection with an individual,” writes Seth Godin.
If art changes the recipient, then every interaction has pure potential to be an artful one, and life becomes your love.life.art.work. Something that is not only deeply personal – but interpersonal. All the ripples you make in all the small ways in which your momentary interactions – your presence – touches someone else make a difference.
You are a body of work.
