1 - Do you like art? Why/Why not?
I love art. And I couldn't tell you why.
2 - Does art serve any purpose to you? (can be abstract - e.g. visual pleasure, or objective - e.g. decoration) Why?
I don't think of art as serving a purpose - it's too pervasive for me. It does make me feel happy, though...sometimes. Vital, maybe.
3 - Do you make time in your life for art? How?
Again, the idea of art is much too pervavsive for me. I can't not make time for it. I see it (and hear it) everywhere.
4 - Tell us about your favourite kind of art or a favourite artist
I don't have favorites, there are many, many artists whose work I enjoy.
5 - Do you care if there is art in your life or not? Why?
Absolutely. I couldn't tell you why. I just know it.
6 - Where do you go to see art?
I see art everywhere. I think that is what attracts me to photography. Its an attempt to capture it. Usually not successfully, which leads me to believe that appreciation of art is a uniquely human perspective, appreciation. Like an appreciation of music, which I deem to be art, as well.
7 - Where would you like to see art? Where should art be seen, in your opinion?
Again, I see art everywhere. We have very few museums here of interest to me.
8 - How important/significant is art to you?
Very.
I can't answer most of these questions because I don't think of art as a 'thing' to write about. It's like breathing. It's everywhere.
