Stunner from Nancy Bell Scott

[DKeys]

Received this today from Nancy. It has her characteristic style of outlined abstraction-controlled chaos. Look like windows to another world that can not be contained by those two boxes. I love the layers of paint she has used. I also received a chubby envelope full of fantastic trash-including pulverized mcdonalds packaging. thank you for your generosity Nancy:)

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Thanks for the link, Erni. Although somewhat aware of him, I'd never read even that much about him. This, as well as other art-education philosophies of his, certainly applies to the comments here:  "Some of Beuys’ ideas espoused in class discussion and in his art-making included free art education for all, the discovery of creativity in everyday life, and the belief that 'everyone [was] an artist.'”

don't forget the D-Kougars

Agree 100%, Guido.

[Guido Vermeulen]

All people are artists and artists are people 2.

You have people who know this (the artists). The others are in denial of their own artistic souls and abilities>

Tout le monde est un artiste oui oui oui !!!

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Not only the "writer" or the "artist" has an artistic voice. Every individual has an artistic voice.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Are the Bolsheviks trying to do away with the individual again?

[De Villo Sloan]

DK is an artificial construct

[De Villo Sloan]

Nancy, I believe in your artistic voice and values, However, be warned, you might know, there are those who claim the idea of the individual writer or artist is an "artificial construct" invented to cause some kind of mayhem or other. 

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Thanks DVS, that means a lot to me. Yah, what is that center called? I think of it as artistic voice, probably combined with values.

[De Villo Sloan]

Nancy, I think you have a very distinctive style. I'm getting so I recognize your work without having to read the tag, even when it's experimental. I think your ego or identity or artistic values (however you want to define that center) is pretty solid.
