It is not an easy task for an artist to give an account
of herself or her art, because she runs the risk
of being judged as an eccentric or even a braggart. That
especially goes for one who can be deemed an idealist;
one who is somewhat unfit for the world of
"action". Our time is very much characterised as being
selfish and materialistic, with a set of values dictated by the media and
commercialism. My favorite author, Aldous Huxley, wrote: "If I had to
describe Hell, it would be a place without books." I'd like to complete his
"Hell Theory." A place without the music of J.S. Bach, Mozart and Debussy,
without paintings, sculptures and beautiful buildings would be Hell. |
