"Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences.
What makes a work of art 'good' for you is not something that is already 'inside' it, but something that happens inside you --- so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art." --- Brian Eno

"Art has to reveal to us ideas, formless spiritual essences. The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring... " James Joyce, Ulysses
Landmark, cold wax, oil, papers; 16"x16", Donna Watson
"Art starts with creation adn will always be part of being human. As long as we live, our art will be there. It is like when you come upon a dried up plant that you know contains an edible tuber.... you have to dig really deep to see where it started its life. That is where you will find the food to eat. Art is like that. You have to dig deep to find its life (meaning).

You always make me pause to think about the ideas you express so beautifully. Thank you.
Have you ever exhibited at Seager Grey Gallery in Mill Valley, CA? Her gallery and your work seem like such a good fit.
ce minimalisme me plait ...et aussi les couleurs sont subtiles!
D - the exhibition and space looks delightful; and as one of the quotes says being there would be an experience that elicits joy. B
