hello Paige,
Contemplating the framed blank wall, allows you to see beyond the nothingness into yourself. Your dreams, ideas, and thoughts, become the somethingness; the art of your mind. To truly appreciate and enjoy art, the bias and opinions in your mind must be let go, in order to "see" what is before you. I have seen much, that has raised and eyebrow or two, but not everything moves me. When I was in my early twenties, I purchased a painting from a local artist.I was in school, working, and barely able to make ends meet, but I had to have this painting. I would stare at it for hours while contemplating my life. Visitors to my apartment were unaffected by it and thought me rather foolish for wasting the money. This piece reflected my soul and apparently no one elses. The painting is long since gone now due to moving damage, but it still remains in my mind. I was viewing one of our members albums of pictures taken from the Hubble and found a picture that resembled this painting.Decades later, I am still moved beyond words although now,have a little better understanding of why.
