Thank Artists
Artists invite us
challenge us
demand that we
see
experience
explore
our little world
in new ways
Focus our attention
through a new lens
Confront us with perspectives
outside our own experience
expectations
societal norms
comfort levels.
The invitation is not always
nice
welcomed
or even understood
It is there,
waiting
For a time
when
your lives intersect with the art
The invitation is accepted
Willingly or otherwise
And the artist alters your perceptions
of your world.

This is very much the view on art to have. It should challenge us a little. It should shake out shit up at the edges a little bit.
Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you M. This is really a tribute to friends who have helped me really look at art and to experience it. The outcome has changed how I view the world around me.

Dear T,
I really enjoyed the POV of this poem. The subjectivity of the creative process is so interesting and its effect can have so much range. I loved “Confront us with perspectives outside our own experience” I quite agree. Trying to exist day to day can be a grind and limiting but letting art do its thing can be so liberating. Wonderful write. H🌷
