ART IS (1980)

"Art is. It need not perform a function. Bring to the viewing of the work what you will. Just as you are unique so will be your experience." - Jim Bentley, August 1980

I have yet to find the original quote. I posted it under a painting of mine that was showing at Hokes Bluff H. S. I had overheard two teachers commenting on the piece: "I don't get it. What is it?"

  2. Somewhere in my blogger past is a picture of another watertower we climbed as teens and twentysomethings, before Homeland Scrutiny!
