Thank you so much, Daryl. I agree about David's poem. sometimes, as you might know, people get mired in toxic or lesser relationships and don't know how to move on.
The Value of Studio Tours is a teaching session in itself. Both the artist and the people who visit a studio learn from the experience, and you learned from participating in Allen Bourne's tour for two years now. It is nourishing for an artist not only to meet potential collectors or clients, but to know precisely why they like your work and what reaches into their souls. And David Whyte's poem Sweet Darkness presents massive wisdom in small space. I particularly like the ending "anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you." Thank you for the Monday morning opener!
Thanks for the likes, Elisabeth! I trust you are enjoying Marrakesh!
So true! In addition, Studio tours / Open Studio also give artists agency over their narrative which is often Kirk shaped differently by galleries.
