| HEREZ AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE; FOR MANY DECADES, I HAVE CUT-CARVED-SCULPTED GEM STONES,KNOWING FULL-WELL....THAT EACH GEMSTONE CAN LAST FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS,WHICH MAKES THE 'ARTIST' FEEL ONE'S ART WILL BE 'SEEN' BY MANY FOLKS IN THE FUTURE,SUCH AS A 'TIME CAPSULE' SORT OF PIECE OF ART. NOW, CONSIDER THE VERY ANCIENT ARTISTS WHO CARVED ROCKS ON TEMPLE WALLS-OR CRYSTAL SKULLS-OR JADE MAYAN ARTIFACTS,AND TO -THIS-DAY... I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY THESE ANCIENT ARTISTS TO DO AS THEY-DID! IN-FACT, I HAVE TAKEN AN AZTEC 'FACE' CARVING ,OF JADE,WHICH WAS AUTHENTIC (BUT LEGAL)AND CREATED A MODERN-DAY PIECE OF JEWELRY AROUND-IT. THIS IS DYNAMIC 'COLLABORATION' ! AND THE NEXT TIME (YOU-AS AN ARTIST) REALIZE THAT YOUR ART CAN 'LIVE' FOR CENTURIES,FROM MODERN 'TECH'PRESEVATION- PROCESSES,AND OTHERS....FROM THE FUTURE WILL ADMIRE-IT,WHICH MAKES FOR 'CHILLS' TO RUN DOWN YOUR SPINE,WELL-THEN, LIFE AS AN 'ARTIST' WAS EXACTLY WHAT YOU-DID,TO LEAVE YOUR 'MARK' ON EARTH.THIS IS WHAT AN 'ARTIST' DOES! http://www.sito.org/discussion/ | ||
