m an artist because I have to think, see, do, sense, feel. Making and experiencing art erases the Cartesian mind-body split because it requires me to engage myself holistically -- mind-body-spirit. Instead of accepting the status quo, being in the work-eat-sleep routine, I get to enjoy what I do and do something bigger than myself, connect with other people, do the unexpected. "Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver)
