"The Idea to Grow"


Sometimes I wish I could lead myself out of the darkness of ignorance when it comes to art. I don't get art, sometimes things that seem so mundane to me can be critiqued as pure ingenious by those critics that have dedicated their entire life to art. So, I was flipping through my favorite magazine VOGUE the other day and I stumbled across this article. It was displaying this young woman (in a fabulous dress, of course) around what looked like blue coral. It grabbed my attention. These coral looking balls where  entirely made out of paper. I was blown away when I continued to flip the pages and reading. I found out that this particular artist has dedicated her life to making these rather unusual yet, fascinating creations. After reading this article, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Art is like those shiny balls that when the light hits it in different angles a different color appears. You have to have a spark of imagination to fully understand art, it might sound cheesy but you really have to think outside the box. This article gave me the idea to grow. I am a fond appreciator of perspective, and to much of my disbelief art screams perspective in the silence of galleries.
