What we have learned from others becomes our own by reflection
What we have learned from others becomes our own by reflection. The Bee sucks the sweets from wild thyme & marjoram; now it is honey & neither marjoram nor thyme.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks 6:19
An artist looks for everything-usually other peoples work. We come away so many times with nothing but when we spot something that moves us we go for it. We however, do not copy, we simply absorb what we see and go on with our own thinking. How ridiculous that we wouldn’t use what we see and do something else with it.
In art the multiplication factor is going wild with the search that we feed on new news every day. Feed Feed Feed x Multiply Multiply Multiply= it pays to look just as much as to work !!! And you have to party- a little bit !!!
