Minimalism in art?
When I heard that this existed, I decided that I would never be involved with it. No. Not happening. Forget about it.
How could I? I like the process of my busy art. For me art is therapeutic, not settling into the maw of some art theory.
In fact, while creating I was arguing with myself on how I could not ever be a minimalist in any way. Much internal resistance and battling ensued. Of course, I should have realized that by saying no to minimalism so vehemently, that I did, indeed, settle into that theoretical maw.
The other day I saw artwork on the internet that had a lot of media in the piece. It was neither good or bad. It just had a lot of stuff and I took notice. I then had to laugh at my 'involvement'. So much for never.
I realized something.
Minimalism didn't want be in my art. It wanted to part of the conversation and to make me aware of the possibilities.
