Why I Make Art


In a discussion of art yesterday one of my students quoted an artist’s statement that art lets humans know what it means to have meaning.  This morning I read that D. S. Savage said art “is a vision of experience informed by meaning.”  I am sitting in the dark morning on my back porch reading The Ancient Word and having a cup of coffee.  The cup is beautifully hand made by someone I admire very much.  This cup has given meaning to my morning that coffee does not give and I want to share that possibility of meaning with others.
