Movie Clip

I loved watching the different artists talk about their different approaches to their personal pieces. My favorite was the artist who drew only the things that say, "stone and water." She draws whatever propels her. Another artist said how any marks made by people is art. Things that people write down or doodle and then throw away is art. One artist, Ken Landauer, thinks in words as well as images. Ula Einstein produces threadings, scratchings, scorchings, trackings, markings, wirings, weaving, and whatever else will make a mark. She uses ritual in terms of creating her own ritual. She has a wide approach to art and says that there is something about the accident at play. There was something that Charlotte Schultz said that I found really beautiful: fabric of our space keeps us on the surface as we slide down into its depression. All of these artists show such passion about their art, they're almost poets, some that express their gut-feelings in ways only they can understand.
