Here is an anecdote:
I'm spending quite some time at the studios of people who are funded as and consider themselves artists. Nevertheless, the other day one of them picked something up from the floor in one of the studios and asked if this item was new and had not been unwrapped yet.
The artist whose studio we were in replied that, no, this was a piece of her art, she likes to wrap things in tape.....
so even artists among themselves don't always seem to recognise all the art around them.
It was quite a revelation to me when this happened, and takes the strain from me when I am around these people and start to think about whether I want to be an artist or not.... who cares after all. I do what I love.
