Original Idea

The artist in search of an original idea will drive himself to the brink of madness in one form or another. The artist in search of an original idea is not alone, there is collective searching. There are degrees of failure. There is some perceived success. And there is really only the outline of the idea in the head carving a new path once again. The artist in search of an original idea has forgotten everything. And has remembered too much the language of false knowledge. the artist in search of an original idea has forgotten the stacks of drawings paid for by weight in poorer countries around the world. The artist in search of an original idea is fed up with those around him because they are cruising in their rut. They have carved their space and are happy or busy of some sloppy combination of the two. The original idea is always there. The artist, by looking, looks away. The world kills those alone. Be together & live forever.
