i was editing sculpture photos earlier, and i was wondering why. why i was bothering. the world is burning, people and animals and trees are dying, we're all trying not to drown in despair. why am i making sculptures and bothering to make sure their photos are accurate and why do i care?

and then i realised that it's the caring that makes us human. it's the creating and the trying to make the world better and more beautiful that will save what's left, if anything will. and they're what will save us too.

so to all of you, i just want to say please keep doing what you're doing. please keep making things and trying and putting whatever it is that makes you you into the world. we all need it. and we all need you.

@moonrabbit very well said. I once bought a funny little lapel button in a re-use store for artists in Tacoma that said: "Make art until the world burns up". It made an impression on me. This is a drama that has played out many times for artists across the ages and across cultures. When we are no more than dust, what we make, if it survives, may still have meaning to people we cannot imagine. So, please keep making art...
@PastPresentArts 🙏 thank you. you too! who knows who will find what we've made, one day ...
