Art and artist exist regardless of whether they are seen by an audience. 💚

As Phyllida Barlow said:

There are plenty of artists who don't have exhibitions. There is plenty of art that's never seen. And I think I am intrigued by that. Making work that does not have a destination has its loneliness and its sadness about it. And many artists endure that for their entire lives, and its heroic.

The novel that never gets published, should it never have been written? Of course it should be. It's making a fantastic contribution to culture of the moment because that individual has that huge urge to do that without any other qualifying pressures.

There is a lot about the art world and the way we experience art that's fantastic, but i think there is a lot that's not entirely spoken about or recognized, which is the unseen and the unkown and the creative act as a deeply private experience.

There is this great, powerful desire to just create something. And does that just get eroded away ? I hope not. 🙂
