Hello Flossie,

Cheers Jill

 

Hi Jill,

 

Though there is good with bad in many of these comments, it is already getting rather depressing for me, as you can imagine. It is possible for you to also think of and send a few ‘inquiring questions’ that I can get my teeth into? For example, ‘Could you please tell me how you came to the idea behind Holy Safety Net?’ There is so much more to art than what a person likes or dislikes. Many artists explore meaningful topics…like spirituality…in a wide range of styles. Can we talk about the essence of the work, instead of effects? See John Garrett Book Publisher’s ‘Soul Journey’.

 

I do appreciate your input and I know this is not really your responsibility but I had wanted the  Blog to extend the exhibition discussion, not to give space generally to critical, that is good or bad, comments – especially ‘anonymous’ ones (see one of my previous BBBBlogs). I already know that many will find this work challenging. These views should not be reinforced on the Blog unless the authors want to learn something more from the work. I wish to move beyond first impressions for those who are interested.

 

Many thanks for your help in all of this,

 

Flossie

HOLY SAFETY NET
