RE: Peace is death - a fibersculpture for artexplosion and needleworkmonday
I wonder what art is but feelings. I guess fear is always there (what others will say, what others think), it is there to keep us under control.
You are right, art can/should arouse feelings, but also, I hope (critical) thinking. With my answer to @cryptocariad I wanted to illustrate that I have often a divided opinion of my own art: during the process i am mostly convinced that my idea is valid and worth to be pursued. But when I am finished and have more distance to my work, the critic sets in... and as I have studied art history I can convince myself easily that my own (often negative) thoughts about my artwork are absolutely accurate (funnily in a debate outside my artworks I am more of a constructivist :-DD). I perhaps have already said this... my brain is not always helpful :-D
