Excellent docublogging. It's a visual feast with the nicely edited footage. Bill's work and life look appealing.
Interestingly enough, my approach to art making couldn't be more different. For me art is all about place. I only want to see and hear SB Land creations.
I really hate going to local art shows and seeing items like a painting of a Flordia beach scene. Anybody can do that. Make me some quality SB Land art. Tell me about the place where I live.
To take the daily life of SB Land and create a really good piece of art, to document the myths of this place, that's where my creative life is being lived.
Thanks, kathryn.
With diverging philosophies, both Gingles and you have the power of artistic voodoo.
