poorly articulated thought

it never occurs to me that my approach to my artistic subject is not universally shared. doesn't everyone feel a sad longing kind of love when they set about their work? no, no they don't, carol.

the thought only came to me today when i was looking at a french design monograph. one of the works was a collage of anonymous bodies that conveyed an air of dissatisfaction. i realized that i had never felt the way this artist feels when making his work--namely, the feeling of cutting up other people, and figuratively spitting on them.

you don't have to be hateful to be relevant, y'know.
