one of my teachers is having a huge art show here in kochi.
30 years worth of work, 400 pieces.
their last hurrah, they're going into the dumpster after this.
i was asking him why, if i were an artist, i would rather have
my works up on someone's wall, than in the dumpster.
i'd give my paintings away for free if i could!
but he said that if people get art for free,
they won't take care of it.
they don't feel the value in the painting.
that's why he'd rather destroy it.
i understand but deep down i don't.
is art about value? or for enjoyment?
i still feel like i'd rather have my art displayed somewhere,
rather than try to make a buck off of it.
