Finding your voice and more......

All things considered, in most matters of art it is more nourishing to be a maker than a viewer. But not in all matters. When it comes to the range of art viewers remain tantalizingly inaccessible to art makers. As a listener you can be transported to authentic ecstasy and catharsis by a performance of the Bach B -minor Mass, but as a maker you cannot compose even the most trivial piece of authentic baroque music. As a viewer you can fell the charge in the presence of the Plains Indian medicine bundle, but as a twentieth century artist you could not begin to make one yourself.
