Why art?

To me art is the same as music.  I use it when I can’t speak or am having a hard time speaking.

It’s a lot easier to talk about a picture or something happening in a picture than it is to talk about what’s going on in my head.  It’s a lot easier to talk about an experience if I put some distance between myself and it.

Probably that’s another reason for my sort of creative stunt.  I had forgot to say earlier that I think “copying” or mimicking is common for children who are surviving abuse.  It’s trying to do what is perceived as normal I guess.  Just bottle everything up and try to fit in.
