The Troublesome Trio- Between the Head, Heart and Hand
Somewhere between the head, heart and the hand of the creator lies Art-a creation; more and more attaining the status of a product.
In an age overwhelmingly head oriented- with concepts, ideas and thoughts- which is one third of the whole process of creation, have we lost touch with the heart? It is difficult to pinpoint where one ends and where the other begins, only the artist knows for sure from the way he feels. We get lost in concepts for their shock value. And shock value is of two kinds- a genuine one that releases or frees us from a labyrinth, from a societal structure we are engulfed in. The other is an intellectual creation of shocking images.
An intellectual understanding remains what it is. It is not the same as living it. As human beings, (before we morphed into artists!) are we forgetting to just plain live as human beings, from the heart?
