Good day, my name is Leah Wilson, you are the artists, it is a pleasure to meet you. I believe in empowerment (say it with me) I deserve the empowerment, we are the creative force that is currently documenting our cultural history to exhist for the future to embrace as something important, vital, more so now, way more then, feelings, yes feelings folks, we are in the business of feelings up to our eyelashs in feelings. Television has become the big brother puppet master our literature has prophesized, it no longer feeds the people trust in feelings, with toxic shock climaxing, what is left? There is a rise in indipendant film, underground galleries and theatres suddenly have members of support, there is a trend breaking free to liberate the artist into being the successful, healthy, confident being that can en-mass and gather with security of greatness, to be.
I meet many artists who are in a middle ground place, their talents and production is at a high, printing and selling a little, but there is a fear of full contact with the flow. Embrace the flow my friends, feel the prosperity to perpetuate your creative expression, for you are the ones that tell the truth of our time, even with random squiggles tugging on a relative yet distant thought, with feeling it makes the magic.
I double dog dare you to go and make something creative with feeling, and then tell someone about it, write it down, take a photo of it, and intend it with value, if you are selling work for $200, and it has shown in three places, when it shows again, make it $500 and say "so there!" If your work is not moving in Milan, move it to Halifax and add the price of shipping doubled over and say "so there!"
Thanks for listening,
I look forward to any comments and pass it forward text that transpires,
all the best,
Leah.
