I feel deeply for those who pursue art. Whose thoughts and words, visions and meanings...often come with the price of struggle.

Never have I seen such greater pain than that of silence and denial.

...And I don't think we give enough thought to just how powerful that pain is. How deep it runs...and how emptied we become as it runs its course through us.

There are powers in words. Force within shapes. ...and even harm in belief if it carries you certain ways...
