... as you might know I have been so busy of late I put the 'gone fishing' sign on the door so to speak at my last post! Well yes...the fish are jumping... but not so much that I cant pop in here tonight and leave a quick hello. I found something I saved recently...and how ever did i track this I could not say...
... from Jules at Joyful Studio a little something to savour from Louise Bourgeois.
"Art is a guarantee of sanity. That is the most important thing I have said."
--Louise Bourgeois
and from Ocean of mind:
"A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art."
