art quotes
17.10.12
painted silk Habotai, textured card, cotton mosquito netting
Only a single line is needed to discover who is doing what.
– Paul Reps
16.10.12
stained and distressed canvas, acrylic paints, market basket fragment, sea shells, linen thread
Art’s a staple. Like bread or wine or a warm coat in winter.
Those who think it is a luxury have only a fragment of a mind.
Man’s spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food.
– Irving Stone
