Writing About Your Work

It is often quite challenging for us to throw words onto our own work that will stick and do it justice. Nevertheless, in our community we value the thoughts of the artist about his/her work, and insist that you discuss it. An important attribute of visionary art is that it is inspired by a specific experience, message, idea, or transmission. Your words can help the viewer to engage your work and open worlds of meaning to it that may never have been seen otherwise. Just as the history behind Picasso's "Guernica" open it up to vast realms of meaning, your subjective history behind your work can also help the viewer to engage it.

Here are some suggestions for discussing your work:
-what inspired it?
-what does it mean to you?
-where do the symbols come from?
-what does it make you feel or think?

If you cannot write in the English language or refuse to write about your work, let us know and we will see what we can do.
