Gary, I am all for anything....I just thought it would be very interesting
and a learning experience to have the input of so many sculptors, specially
for the differences in us ( in age, knowledge, experience, materials we use
and many other things). I guess I still have the little worm from my college
years of analyzing art in any possible way. Or maybe is my desire to learn
 from others, as if for osmosis and get art all over me.
I have experienced with some artists, mostly painters and Spaniards or
Latins, that the artists didn't want to admit that other artists could be
better than them. Some have a god complex or something like that. Their way
is better, their themes, their technique, their style and I saw them
limiting themselves to the exposure of wonderful art, innovative art, very
creative ways of making art.
I always thought that it was a waste of opportunity because in seeing,
talking and sharing with artists we all become richer. I found too that
those artists would get insulted by new art, new concepts and would dare
qualify them as non artistic....I cannot be that close minded and I don't
want to be. I welcome art in any form and shape, by anybody. I recognize
when I see a young artists creating things that I would never think of and I
admire that artists...I want to know from he/she, I want to learn what gives
them that vision I lack and by doing so I experience them, their art and my
world gets wider.
I guess is the result of being among artists in Spain and then here.
Latin idiosyncrasy is different, I think......or maybe most artists are the
same?
Well enough ramble ( spam, maybe?) .
I  was looking at this site, have seen it before ( tend to goggle too much)
and maybe someone may be interested.
