artist's statement

Dear Friend,

somewhere in my papers i have a statement by tolstoy himself
on the utter folly and meaninglessness of art.

he's ruthless.

and it certainly is trivial, this making of images, scribbling, making marks on a piece of paper
or a canvas and pretending that it 'means' something.

nurses and teachers do the real work.

since you seem interested in such things, i'll try to find the statement for you.

it's probably up in the attic in the box where i've put everything
i don't want to think about.
