Blaise Moritz (whose art maybe a distant cousin to yours here) said in podcast episode that its really lovely for all of us to make art, but if we are going to share solidarity in our art practice, that means we also need to show solidarity in other practices like growing food and sharing shelter. That really resonates with me because I do think its important that we all make space for exercises in joy, like making art, but we do so by acting inline with other community initiative that ensure that everyone has their needs met so we all have space to make art. 💕
I didn't really go into the privilege of being able to take a moment to make art just because I enjoy it in this post but I 100% agree, working towards making a world where everyone can take those moments to create is so important.
Love this perspective on mindful indulgence in art! So many creatives feel pressure to be productive with every creative act, but sometimes the most valuable work comes from allowing ourselves to simply enjoy the process. I see this all the time—when creatives give themselves permission to explore without expectation, their best ideas often emerge. Such an important reminder!
