INSPIRATION

This is what I love about art: taking something ordinary, randomly destroying it by doing the unexpected, and realizing it’s the perfect possibility for a role in a larger, magical masterpiece, only I could envision… True art appreciation. And, all you need is a vision.
To some, it’s merely trash. Wet paper that becomes a sticky, gooey mess. To me, there are a myriad of tangents where this “mess” could go… Food for my soul, for sure!
