"I learned to trust my obsessions. It is surely a great calamity for a human being to have no obsessions."
American Poet
1926 -
What are your obsessions? Do you deny that they exist? What is it that keeps appearing in your paintings or writings? In my art I am obsessed with masks. I paint and draw masks. When I did wood carving I carved masks. When I doodle, I draw masks. We all wear masks even those who say they don't. We change our behavior depending on the people we are with? I bet most of you act different around your parents than your friends. And you are probably different at work than you are at home. We all don our masks and sometimes we even hide from ourselves.
What are your obsessions? What drives you to paint or draw or write? What is the message that you must deliver to the world? Do you trust your obsessions? Do you understand why you must pursue your obsessions even if it means putting yourself at risk? Please take a moment and share your obsessions? I would enjoy hearing from you.
