As I continue to work on content for this site I’m forced to think more and more about what I want it to be. Sure, I could just say its a place to share art, but who gets to define art? Well not to sound full of myself, but its my site so I get to in this particular case. So what does art mean to me and why should anyone care about what I think art is? Art is often carelessly defined as a reflection of life and while that is true at least in part i think its a bit to limiting. Art is about stories. Stories that are real or stories that are fiction or some merging of the two. These stories can be told through actors, musicians, poets, writers, etc. I believe the ultimate goal of life is to transcend past the material limitations that confine us and to become more aware of not only the world around us but also ourselves. You could say life is about becoming as much of ourself as possible. Art that reflects this sort of journey is what I want to talk about. With that being said I want to announce my next article will be about a story of becoming someone else, instead of yourself. Coming soon, Hailstorm and Maelstrom by Coin Locker Kid.
