Recycling Used Paintings. |
| In troubled times, my girlfriend said “at least you’re not as bad off as Emiily Carr, the poor thing had nothing but cardboard to paint on”. It was a Eureka moment. A large canvas costs real money and storage space, but the bike store and furniture store put out the right size cardboard. Circumstance is the mother of semiotic statements; cardboard has street credibility, Cardboard rebels, and rebellion against tradition is a postmodern credo. The process described suggest that in hard times, following lines of least resistance is a creative process.
Political science says your culture is your future. "Art as radar acts as an early alarm system, as it were, enabling us to discover social and psychic targets in lots of time to prepare to cope with them". McLuhan, Marshall. Understanding Media.
