That's a good idea. I believe in "spring cleaning" once a year if I can. Plus, I'm always looking to create something different, when it comes to music.
I loved your Essay: I think it's a really brave thing to do - destroy everything and start anew and fresh. I get to tied to my art - I do love to deconstruct and make new art from something I have done - but to destroy to nothing ... I think it's brave. The fresh white walls sound marvelous.
Enjoy the experience and thanks for challenging my mind.
thought provoking essay man. Be cool if you embedded it to the video section of tailcast. I think the guys there will find it interesting.
I personally dislike waste and destruction, and thought I might suggest a different use of those 'unwanted' pieces.. You could offer them to a charity auction, give them to loved ones or donate them to places like libraries or public buildings.. Obviously it's your prerogative, but i thought I'd share those thoughts :]
Hey if you want to mix oil and water, you need an emulsifier.
I hope you don't destroy your art. I never could figure that out when artists did that. At the very least, you could donate it to some charity as a fund raiser, or maybe some nursing homes, etc. Then it would have a purpose.
In fact, you can send me the three pieces I see behind you. I like them!
not sure my work would be best suited for a nursing home, though it's a nice thought. i have in the past (in will continue to) donated to charity events... in fact i gave 2 optical aroma flowers to a charity fund raiser. anyway... to give everything away would undermine the whole concept of catharsis (and kill my fantisy).
That was quite good, and it's a fantasy that will take bravery to implement. I could never let go of things like that -- I'm a horrible packrat. And yes, I'm talking about inner stuff as well as the out stuff.
I hope you will submit this to N.P.R.'s series as well. (Of course, then they'd probably make you take this down.)
your a healer.. good observations and your really onto something. I am always pondering and struggling with (what am i giving/recieving in this life)Your ideas of purging and cleansing yourself will produce Positive effects. Its a leap of faith!
Excellent Essay!:)

to donate (which i do) everything would undermine the whole concept of catharsis.
think of it as burning a field to help promote a healthier ecology.
thanks for the comment.

'emulsifier'... funny.

Good one! I like the closing the most and do us all a favor and show us that burning of your work. Do like a ceremony. That would be cool.
