Good comments. It is in the heart of us, what we deem art.


Art is filled with ambiguity. We have never defined art. When we do,
money has been attached. Galleries need money, they feed the masses
which exist within paradigms of traditional definitions of what art is.
To the institutions, art is what art sells. Yet for those who "see", art
everywhere. 

The images you create are art for me. It is an art form filled to the
brim with creative processes. A pencil is used to write or draw.
Telescopes are used to see and create.

A friend of mine will not do anything unless it pays. His heart is not
in it. Surrounded by the walls of his paradigms.

Take care Chris.
