Art Manifesto

After really loving the Tanya Davis video I posted yesterday, I was happy to learn that she's not only a poet but also a singer/songwriter. After previewing a few tracks, I purchased the downloadable version of her latest CD. One of the songs, "Art", sounded very familiar. I finally realized it was the music track for an inspiring video I'd seen months ago about, you guessed it, art! It was created by Andrea Dorfman, the filmmaker who also created the "How to Be Alone" video.

It's only been in the last year or so that I've thought of myself as an artist. And in doing so I've not only been inspired to express myself through many mediums I wouldn't have otherwise explored, but have also developed an ever-deepening dialogue with my inner Muse. The Muse of a Muse. Which will be the topic of my next post.

For now, here's that rad and wonderful art manifesto from Tanya and Andrea:
