Art should inspire us beyond our fear. It is a way of concretely communicating that one is lived. It is a way of consorting with the ancestors in animistic spirit worship. Art is not a matter or copying elemental things. That is just a tradition of art.
Art is the presumption of the life-sign in everything.
It is a response to the life-sign. The making of something that ultimately is regarded to be something of aesthetic interest in a response to the life-sign. True art should not have anything to do with the discursive mind. It is a different kind of inspiration, not seated in the body or the apparent personality. It is a motion to which one must submit oneself so that the body is made to endure physical and emotional pain in the spontaneous and psyshic process of being overwhelmed, of being radiant.
